GBL04E-E3/P

Overview

The GBL04E-E3/P is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It features a glass passivated junction and is housed in the GBL-4 surface-mount package. The device supports an average forward current of 4 A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 400 V. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward voltage of 1 V, a non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 150 A, and a maximum reverse current of 5 µA. It operates within a temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated junction structure for high reliability
• Ideal for printed circuit board mounting
• High surge current capability

Applications

• Printed circuit board power supply circuits
• General purpose rectification applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix /P against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm packaging details, as suffixes can indicate variations in tape and reel specifications or compliance status. Ensure the component matches the required RoHS and REACH standards for your assembly process. Cross-reference the Mouser number 78-GBL04E-E3/P with official distributor catalogs to validate current availability and authenticity before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 4 A current rating and 400 V blocking voltage are required in a compact GBL-4 surface-mount footprint. Consider the 1 V forward voltage drop for efficiency calculations and the 150 A surge capability for transient protection needs. Verify that the operating temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C aligns with the thermal environment of the target application.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBL series of single-phase bridge rectifiers from Vishay. The series offers various voltage ratings and current capacities in the same GBL-4 case type, facilitating design standardization across different power supply projects. The E3 suffix typically denotes lead-free and halogen-free construction compliant with environmental directives.

Replacement Considerations

GBL04E-E3/P is listed as a manufacturer recommended replacement for GBL04-E3/45. Other similar options include GBU404-G, GBU604-G, and GBU804-G from Comchip Technology, though these may differ in physical dimensions or specific electrical characteristics.
