GBU6ML-5301E3/51

Overview

The GBU6ML-5301E3/51 is a single-phase bridge rectifier from Vishay General Semiconductor. It features a 1 kV repetitive peak reverse voltage and a 3.8 A average forward rectified current. The device utilizes the GBU surface-mount package for through-hole mounting. Key electrical parameters include a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 175 A, a maximum RMS input AC voltage of 700 V, and a maximum DC blocking voltage of 1000 V. Operating junction temperature ranges from -55°C to +150°C with a maximum storage temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides reliable rectification in single-phase applications with high surge current capability.
• Designed for efficient thermal management within standard operating temperature limits.
• Utilizes a robust GBU package configuration suitable for automated assembly processes.

Applications

• General purpose power supply circuits
• Battery chargers
• DC-to-DC converter inputs

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure compliance with RoHS directives and halogen-free requirements. Confirm that the GBU package dimensions match the target PCB footprint design. Cross-reference the part number with the latest Vishay documentation to validate availability and manufacturing status before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1 kV reverse voltage rating and 3.8 A continuous current are required in a GBU form factor. Ensure the application does not exceed the specified 175 A surge current limit. Consider thermal dissipation requirements relative to the ambient temperature and board layout constraints inherent to the through-hole mounting style.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBU series of bridge rectifiers manufactured by Vishay Diodes Division. The series offers various voltage and current combinations within the same mechanical outline. The E3 suffix typically indicates lead-free and halogen-free construction compliant with international environmental standards.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 1 kV voltage rating, 3.8 A current capacity, and GBU package type. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics. Consult Vishay documentation for approved alternative part numbers within the same product family.
