GBLA10-M3/51

Overview

The GBLA10-M3/51 is a glass-passivated single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It belongs to the GBL series and utilizes the GBL package for in-line circuit configuration. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1000 V and provides a maximum average forward rectified output current of 4.0 A at a case temperature of 50 °C. It features a peak forward surge current rating of 120 A and a typical reverse leakage current of less than 5 μA at rated DC blocking voltage. The component operates within a junction and storage temperature range of -55 to +150 °C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivation protects the junctions against mechanical stress
• High surge current capability suitable for demanding loads
• Molding compound meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating
• Terminals are matte tin plated and solderable per J-STD-002

Applications

• AC/DC bridge full wave rectification
• Monitor power supplies
• TV adapter circuits
• Printer power units
• Home appliances

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix /51, which indicates delivery in anti-static PVC trays with a base quantity of 400 units. Confirm that the M3 suffix denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant commercial grade material. Ensure the procurement matches the End of Life status by checking for the recommended alternative devices if long-term supply continuity is required.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1000 V reverse voltage rating is necessary for single-phase bridge rectification applications. The 4.0 A average forward current rating must be validated against the actual thermal conditions, as derating curves indicate reduced current capacity at higher ambient temperatures. Verify that the GBL package dimensions fit the printed circuit board layout constraints.

Part Context

This part is part of the GBLAxx series of glass-passivated single-phase bridge rectifiers from Vishay General Semiconductor. The datasheet covers variants ranging from GBLA005 to GBLA10, differentiated primarily by their maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage ratings. The GBLA10 specifically represents the highest voltage variant in this lineup.

Replacement Considerations

The datasheet explicitly identifies the GBL005E, GBL01E, GBL02E, GBL04E, GBL06E, GBL08E, and GBL10E as alternative devices due to the End of Life status of the GBLAxx series.
