GBL202

Overview

The GBL202 is a single-phase bridge rectifier from the Taiwan Semiconductor GBL201–GBL207 series, rated for a maximum average forward current of 2 A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V. It utilizes glass passivated chip junctions to ensure high reliability and low leakage current, typically less than 5 µA at 25°C. The device supports a surge peak forward current of 60 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. Packaged in a GBL case with matte tin-plated leads, it meets UL flammability rating 94V-0 and complies with RoHS directives.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated chip junction construction
• High case dielectric strength
• Ideal for printed circuit board mounting

Applications

• Switching mode power supply (SMPS)
• Adapters
• Lighting application

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code suffix when purchasing. The standard package contains 25 units per tube. Confirm whether an 'H' suffix is required, as this indicates AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. Ensure the selected part matches the required voltage rating and packaging format before finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select the GBL202 specifically for circuits requiring a 100 V reverse voltage rating. Consider the thermal resistance values if operating near maximum ambient temperatures. Verify that the 2 A continuous current rating aligns with the load requirements and derating curves provided in the datasheet.

Part Context

This component belongs to the GBL201 through GBL207 product family, which offers standardized bridge rectifiers ranging from 50 V to 1000 V reverse voltage ratings. All members share identical mechanical dimensions and electrical characteristics except for their specific voltage blocking capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other GBL20x series parts with matching voltage ratings or higher. Cross-manufacturer equivalents must match the 2 A current rating, 100 V reverse voltage, and GBL package footprint.
