GBL08E-E3/A

Overview

The GBL08E-E3/A is a single-phase rectifier bridge manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a peak average forward current of 4A and a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 800V. The device utilizes a GBL package with four pins for through-hole mounting. Key electrical characteristics include a peak non-repetitive forward surge current of 150A, a maximum operating temperature of +150°C, and a minimum operating temperature of -55°C. Additional parameters specify a peak forward voltage of 1V and a peak reverse current of 5µA.

Applications

• General-purpose AC to DC power supply conversion
• Bridge rectification in industrial equipment
• Power supply units requiring high voltage isolation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix E3/A against official Vishay documentation to confirm compliance status and exact mechanical dimensions. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required lead time and packaging configuration. Cross-reference the manufacturer product number with authorized distributor catalogs to confirm availability and authenticity before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring 4A continuous current handling and 800V reverse voltage blocking capability. The GBL through-hole package is suitable for designs needing robust mechanical mounting. Verify that the thermal management strategy supports the specified junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C under expected load conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBL series of single-phase rectifier bridges from Vishay. The series offers various voltage ratings and current capacities within the same GBL footprint. The GBL08 variant specifically denotes the 800V rating within this family of through-hole bridge rectifiers designed for general electronic applications.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes must match the 4A current rating, 800V reverse voltage, and GBL package outline. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal performance characteristics. Check for equivalent surge current ratings and reverse leakage specifications to ensure circuit integrity during replacement.
