GBL06-M3/45

Overview

The GBL06-M3/45 is a glass passivated single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It provides a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V and supports a maximum average forward rectified output current of 4.0 A at a case temperature of 50 °C. The device features a peak forward surge current capability of 150 A and a typical DC reverse current of 5 μA at rated blocking voltage. Operating junction temperatures range from -55 °C to +150 °C, with a maximum instantaneous forward voltage drop of 1.00 V per diode at 4.0 A.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm package quantity and delivery mode. Confirm compliance requirements such as halogen-free status and RoHS directives before procurement. Ensure that the selected variant matches the required thermal and electrical ratings for the intended application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component based on the 600 V reverse voltage rating and 4.0 A continuous current requirement. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics when designing heat dissipation strategies. Verify that the operating ambient temperature remains within the specified limits to maintain the rated current capacity without derating.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBL series of single-phase bridge rectifiers, which includes variants with different voltage ratings such as GBL005 through GBL10. The M3 suffix indicates a lead-free, halogen-free construction compliant with RoHS standards. The GBL package type offers a compact form factor suitable for surface mount applications.

Replacement Considerations

Official alternative devices include the GBL06E model. Verify compatibility regarding pinout configuration, physical dimensions, and electrical specifications before substitution. Ensure that any replacement meets the same safety certifications and material compliance standards.
