GBU802

Overview

The GBU802 is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by SMC Diode Solutions. It features an average forward rectified current of 8 Amperes and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 Volts. The device utilizes glass passivation for electrode protection and is housed in a GBU plastic package designed for through-hole mounting. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated electrodes provide stable leakage characteristics and improved reverse blocking capability.
• Molded plastic case ensures flammability classification UL 94 V-0 for enhanced safety.
• Mechanical attributes include leads solderable per MIL-STD-202 and high thermal shock resistance.

Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supply circuits
• Battery chargers
• Adapters

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number against official manufacturer documentation to confirm electrical ratings and package type. Ensure compatibility with required thermal management and mounting constraints. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly. Confirm lead availability and standard delivery terms directly with authorized distributors or the manufacturer.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, general-purpose bridge rectifier is needed for AC-to-DC conversion applications requiring 8A continuous current and 200V reverse voltage withstand. Consider the GBU package size for board space constraints and verify that the operating temperature range meets the system's environmental requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the GBU series of single-phase bridge rectifiers from SMC Diode Solutions. The series offers various voltage ratings while maintaining consistent current handling and mechanical form factors, facilitating design standardization across different power supply architectures.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering equivalent GBU-style bridge rectifiers rated for 8A and 200V. Verify pinout compatibility and physical dimensions before substitution to ensure proper fit on existing printed circuit boards.
