GBL10-E3/45

Overview

The GBL10-E3/45 is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It utilizes standard silicon technology and features a glass-passivated junction for environmental stability. The component is designed for through-hole mounting in the GBL package, which provides robust mechanical support. Key electrical specifications include a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1000 V and an average forward rectified current of 1.0 A per leg. The device exhibits a typical forward voltage drop of 1.1 V at rated current and maintains a low reverse leakage current of 5 µA at maximum voltage. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivation provides protection against mechanical stress and moisture ingress.
• High surge current capability supports transient overload conditions.
• Low forward voltage drop contributes to improved system efficiency.

Applications

• General-purpose AC-to-DC power supply circuits
