GBLA06L-6985E3/45

Overview

The GBLA06L-6985E3/45 is a glass-passivated single-phase bridge rectifier from Vishay General Semiconductor, utilizing the GBL through-hole package. It features a maximum average forward rectified output current of 4 A at a case temperature of 50 °C and supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V. The device 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. It offers a peak forward surge current capability of 120 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivation protects the junction against mechanical stress and improves long-term stability.
• Molding compound meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating for enhanced safety.
• Matte tin plated leads ensure solderability per J-STD-002 standards.

Applications

• AC/DC bridge full wave rectification in monitor and TV power supplies.
• Rectification circuits in switch mode power supplies (SMPS) and adapters.
• General purpose rectification in printer, audio equipment, and home appliances.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix configuration against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm compliance with RoHS directives and material categorization requirements. Ensure that the ordering code matches the desired voltage rating and packaging format, as variations exist within the GBLA series. Cross-reference the document number 88610 for the most current technical specifications and mechanical data before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 4 A current rating and 600 V reverse voltage are required for general-purpose rectification. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics and derating curves if operating at ambient temperatures exceeding 40 °C or when mounting on aluminum plates versus PCB copper pads. Verify that the lead spacing and package dimensions fit the target printed circuit board layout constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBLA series of glass-passivated single-phase bridge rectifiers manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 1000 V, all sharing the same GBL package style and 4 A current handling capability. The E3 suffix indicates RoHS compliance and halogen-free construction.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include GBLA06-E3/45. Other manufacturers may offer equivalent 4 A, 600 V bridge rectifiers in the GBL package, but verification of pinout, thermal characteristics, and electrical limits is required.
