GBL10E-E3/A

Overview

The GBL10E-E3/A is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features an average forward rectified current of 4 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1000 V. The device utilizes the GBL surface-mount package, specifically a 4-SIP configuration designed for printed circuit board mounting. Electrical characteristics include a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current capability and a specified maximum forward voltage drop at rated current. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and complies with RoHS directives.

Feature Summary

• High voltage blocking capability suitable for demanding power supply applications
• Surface-mount GBL package optimized for automated PCB assembly processes
• Glass-passivated junction structure providing enhanced reliability and stability

Applications

• Adapters and chargers requiring compact high-voltage rectification
• General-purpose power supply circuits
• Inverter and converter input stages

Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number including the suffix to ensure correct packaging and compliance status. Confirm that the specific revision matches the design requirements for voltage and current ratings. Check manufacturer documentation for any recent changes in manufacturing location or material composition that may affect qualification.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1000 V rating and 4 A continuous current are required in a surface-mount form factor. Ensure the available PCB space accommodates the GBL package dimensions. Verify thermal management capabilities for the intended operating environment, as the junction temperature limit is 150°C.

Part Context

This component belongs to the GBL-E series of bridge rectifiers from Vishay. The series offers various voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 1000 V while maintaining a consistent 4 A current rating and standardized footprint. This allows designers to standardize on a single package type across different power supply designs with varying voltage requirements.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 4 A current, 1000 V voltage, and GBL package. Other manufacturers offering equivalent specifications in the same footprint should be evaluated for pin compatibility and electrical parameter equivalence.
