GBLA06-M3/45

Overview

The GBLA06-M3/45 is a glass passivated single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features an in-line circuit configuration within the GBL case type, designed for printed circuit board mounting. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V and delivers a maximum average forward rectified output current of 4.0 A at a case temperature of 50 °C. It exhibits a typical instantaneous forward voltage drop of 1.0 V at 4.0 A and a maximum DC reverse current of 5 μA at rated blocking voltage. The component operates within a junction and storage temperature range of -55 to +150 °C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivation provides mechanical strength and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability ratings
• High surge current capability with a rating of 120 A
• Terminals are matte tin plated and solderable per J-STD-002 standards

Applications

• AC/DC bridge full wave rectification
• Monitor power supplies
• TV adapter circuits
• Printer power modules
• Home appliance control boards

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm packaging format. The /45 suffix indicates tube delivery, while other suffixes may denote tray quantities. Confirm RoHS compliance status and material categorization definitions via official Vishay documentation before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component based on the required 600 V reverse voltage rating and 4.0 A continuous current capacity. Ensure thermal management aligns with the specified thermal resistance values for either heat-sink or PCB mounting configurations. Validate that the operating environment remains within the -55 to +150 °C junction temperature limits.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBLAxx series of glass passivated bridge rectifiers from Vishay. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 1000 V, all sharing the same GBL package outline and general electrical characteristics. The M3 suffix denotes halogen-free and RoHS-compliant construction.

Replacement Considerations

Officially documented alternative devices include the GBL06E series. Verify compatibility regarding pinout, thermal performance, and voltage ratings when substituting these recommended alternatives.
