GBL10E-E3/P

Overview

The GBL10E-E3/P is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It features an inline GBL-4 package designed for through-hole mounting. The device supports a maximum average forward rectified current of 4 A and a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 1 kV. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage drop of 1 V and a peak non-repetitive surge current capability of 150 A. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C, ensuring reliability in high-temperature environments.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated junction structure provides high reliability and low leakage current.
• Molded epoxy case offers flammability rating UL 94 V-0 and excellent mechanical strength.
• Compliant with RoHS directive and free from halogenated substances.

Applications

• AC-DC power supply circuits
• Battery chargers
• General purpose rectification

Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number including the suffix /P when ordering to ensure correct packaging configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status and REACH SVHC declarations with the supplier prior to procurement. Ensure the component meets specific environmental standards required for the target application before finalizing purchase orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a 4 A current rating and 1000 V reverse voltage blocking capability. The GBL-4 package is suitable for PCB layouts requiring through-hole technology. Consider the 150 A surge current rating for circuits with potential inrush currents. Verify thermal management requirements given the 150 °C maximum junction temperature limit.

Part Context

This component belongs to the GBL series of single-phase bridge rectifiers from Vishay. The series offers various voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 1000 V with current ratings typically between 2 A and 8 A. The GBL10E variant specifically addresses higher voltage applications while maintaining the compact inline footprint common to the GBL family.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 4 A current rating, 1000 V reverse voltage, and GBL-4 package dimensions. Verify that alternative manufacturers' components meet the same forward voltage and surge current specifications to ensure circuit compatibility without redesign.
