GBLA10

Overview

The GBLA10 is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It features a glass passivated junction and is housed in a GBL-4 through-hole package. The device supports a maximum average forward rectified current of 10 A and offers a peak repetitive reverse voltage rating of 1000 V. It operates within a temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C, with a maximum non-repetitive peak surge current capability of 200 A.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated chip junctions provide high reliability and resistance to environmental variations.
• Plastic encapsulation meets UL flammability classification 94V-0 for safety compliance.
• Isolated construction ensures high voltage isolation between the case and leads.

Applications

• General purpose full-wave rectification in power supply circuits
• Battery charging systems requiring high voltage blocking capabilities
• Industrial equipment AC-to-DC conversion stages

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes on the component marking to confirm exact electrical ratings and packaging type. Confirm RoHS compliance status and halogen-free certification requirements against the latest manufacturer datasheet before procurement. Ensure the supplier provides traceable documentation matching the GBLA10 part number specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 10 A continuous current and 1000 V reverse voltage are required in a through-hole configuration. Consider the thermal management needs for the GBL-4 package under high load conditions. Verify that the operating environment temperature does not exceed the specified limits without derating the current.

Part Context

This component belongs to the GBL series of glass passivated bridge rectifiers from Taiwan Semiconductor. The series is designed for general-purpose applications requiring robust performance in compact through-hole packages. It complements other variants in the lineup that offer different current and voltage ratings while maintaining similar mechanical and electrical characteristics.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with equivalent 10 A, 1000 V bridge rectifiers in the GBL-4 package from other manufacturers. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal dissipation characteristics before substitution. Ensure the alternative device meets the same glass passivation and UL recognition standards.
