GBU8B-BP

Overview

The GBU8B-BP is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It features an 8 A average forward rectified current rating and a 100 V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage. The device utilizes a GBU surface-mount package with solder pad termination, measuring 22.3 mm in length, 18.8 mm in height, and 3.56 mm in width. Electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage of 1 V and a reverse leakage current of 5 uA. It supports a non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 200 A and operates within a temperature range of -55 C to +150 C.

Feature Summary

• Surface-mount construction in a GBU plastic package for automated PCB assembly
• High thermal performance enabling operation up to +150 C junction temperature
• Glass-passivated die structure providing protection against mechanical stress

Applications

• General-purpose AC to DC power supply conversion circuits
• Battery charging systems requiring low-voltage rectification
• DC power output stages in consumer electronic adapters

Procurement Notes

Verify the component status before procurement as the GBU8B-BP is classified as NRND (Not Recommended for New Designs). Confirm RoHS compliance details through official datasheets or manufacturer documentation prior to integration into new production runs. Ensure that the specified operating temperatures align with final system requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact surface-mount bridge rectifier with 8 A capacity and 100 V blocking voltage is required. The GBU package offers a balance between current handling and board space efficiency. Consider the 1 V forward voltage drop for thermal management calculations in high-current applications.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBU8B series of single-phase bridge rectifiers from Micro Commercial Components. The series provides standardized surface-mount solutions for medium-current applications. The GBU8B-BP specifically denotes the 100 V variant within this family, sharing physical dimensions and mounting characteristics with other voltage ratings in the same series.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible alternatives from MCC or other manufacturers offering identical 8 A / 100 V specifications in the GBU package. Verify that any substitute maintains the same thermal resistance and forward voltage characteristics to ensure circuit compatibility.
