GBL08H

Overview

The GBL08H is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It features an 8 A average forward current rating and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 800 V. The device utilizes glass passivated junction technology for high reliability and low leakage current. It is housed in a GBL-4 through-hole package, designed for printed circuit board mounting. The component operates within a temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature and meets AEC-Q101 automotive qualification standards.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated junction construction ensures high reliability and low leakage current.
• High case dielectric strength suitable for demanding environments.
• Automotive grade qualification compliant with AEC-Q101 standards.

Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supply circuits.
• Automotive electronics requiring AEC-Q101 qualified components.
• Printed circuit board mounted bridge rectifier applications.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official datasheets to confirm packaging type and qualification status. Ensure the ordering code matches the required voltage and current ratings for the target application. Confirm RoHS compliance and halogen-free status if environmental regulations apply. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest documentation for any updates to mechanical dimensions or electrical characteristics before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an 8 A current capacity and 800 V reverse voltage are required in a through-hole GBL package. Consider the AEC-Q101 qualification if the application involves automotive systems. Verify that the thermal management design supports the specified junction temperature range. Compare surge current capabilities against potential transient loads in the circuit design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBL series of glass passivated single-phase bridge rectifiers from Taiwan Semiconductor. The series offers various voltage ratings from 50 V to 1000 V while maintaining consistent 8 A current handling. The GBL package provides a compact solution for PCB mounting with isolated case connections. This specific model represents the 800 V variant within the lineup.

Replacement Considerations

GBL08 is a parameter-equivalent alternative within the same product family.
