GBU6KL-5300E3/51

Overview

The GBU6KL-5300E3/51 is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It utilizes standard technology and features an isoCINK+™ BU package for through-hole mounting. The component is rated for a maximum peak reverse voltage of 800 V and supports an average rectified current of 3.8 A. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C.

Feature Summary

• High surge current capability inherent to the GBU series design
• IsoCINK+™ plastic package optimized for thermal performance
• Low forward voltage drop characteristics for efficiency

Applications

• AC-to-DC power supply circuits
• Battery chargers
• General-purpose rectification in industrial equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix E3/51 against official Vishay documentation to confirm RoHS compliance and tape-and-reel packaging specifications. Ensure the part number matches the exact electrical ratings required for the target application, as variations exist within the GBU family. Cross-reference with manufacturer datasheets for accurate handling and storage guidelines.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an 800 V peak reverse voltage rating is necessary alongside a 3.8 A continuous current requirement. The through-hole GBU package provides robust mechanical stability compared to surface-mount alternatives. Consider thermal management requirements given the operating temperature range up to 150°C.

Part Context

This device belongs to the GBU series of bridge rectifiers from Vishay. The series is characterized by high reliability and compact size. The GBU6K variant specifically denotes the 6 Ampere class (here derated or specified at 3.8A in some contexts, but officially 3.8A per provided data) with 600V/800V options. The 'L' indicates low leakage current characteristics.

Replacement Considerations

GBU6KL-5300M3/51 is listed as a parameter-equivalent alternative.
