GBU8J-7000M3/45

Overview

The GBU8J-7000M3/45 is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600V and an average forward rectified current of 8A. The device utilizes standard technology and is housed in a GBU through-hole package with four pins. Key electrical characteristics include a peak non-repetitive forward surge current of 200A, a maximum forward voltage of 1V at specified current, and a maximum reverse leakage current of 5µA at 600V. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides full-wave rectification for AC to DC conversion in power supply circuits
• Designed for high reliability with robust thermal performance up to 150°C junction temperature
• Features low forward voltage drop for improved efficiency in power applications

Applications

• General purpose power supply units
• Battery chargers
• DC power adapters

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '7000' against official Vishay documentation to confirm it denotes the 600V rating variant, as standard nomenclature may differ. Confirm RoHS compliance status via the latest datasheet revision. Check for obsolete status indicators from distributors, as some sources list this part as discontinued or replaced by updated series variants.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 600V rating is required for single-phase rectification with an 8A continuous current capacity. Ensure the PCB layout supports the GBU through-hole package dimensions. Compare against higher voltage variants if system transients exceed 600V. Verify that the 200A surge current rating meets the inrush requirements of the target application.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBU8 series of bridge rectifiers from Vishay. The GBU series is widely used in industrial and consumer electronics for its compact surface-mount-like footprint adapted for through-hole mounting. The 'J' suffix typically indicates the 600V voltage class in Vishay's naming convention, while 'M3' signifies lead-free and halogen-free construction compliant with environmental standards.

Replacement Considerations

Check Vishay's product change notifications for direct replacements. Generic equivalents must match the 600V Vrrm, 8A Io, and GBU package dimensions. Verify pinout compatibility before substitution.
