GBL404-BPC01

Overview

The GBL404-BPC01 is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. It features a 4A average forward current rating and a 400V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage. The device utilizes glass passivated junction technology for enhanced reliability. It has a maximum DC output current of 4A and a maximum RMS current of 6A. The forward voltage drop is specified at 1V when tested at 2A. The component is housed in the GBL surface-mount package, designed for efficient thermal performance and compact circuit integration.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated junction construction ensures high reliability and resistance to voltage transients
• Surface-mount GBL package design facilitates automated assembly and space-efficient PCB layouts
• Single-phase bridge configuration provides full-wave rectification capabilities

Applications

• AC-DC power supply circuits
• Battery charging systems
• General-purpose rectification in electronic equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix BPC01 against the manufacturer's latest documentation to confirm compliance with RoHS standards and lead time requirements. Ensure that the requested quantity aligns with factory pack specifications to avoid partial reel issues. Cross-reference the part number with official distributor catalogs to confirm availability and authenticity before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a 4A current capacity and 400V reverse voltage blocking capability. The GBL package is suitable for surface-mount designs where board space is limited. Consider the forward voltage drop characteristics for efficiency calculations in low-voltage DC outputs. Ensure the operating temperature range meets the system's thermal requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBL series of bridge rectifiers from Micro Commercial Components. The series offers various voltage ratings and current capacities within the same surface-mount footprint. The GBL404 variant specifically targets mid-range power applications. The BPC01 suffix typically denotes specific packaging or compliance attributes defined by the manufacturer.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 4A, 400V glass-passivated bridge rectifiers in the GBL package such as the GBL404-HF from the same manufacturer. Ensure pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics match the original design constraints.
