Product details
Overview
GBL005H from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 4A, 50V AEC-Q101-qualified standard bridge rectifier in GBL package, featuring glass-passivated junctions, <1.1V forward voltage at 4A, <5µA reverse current at 25°C, and 150A surge rating - deployed in automotive-grade AC/DC front-ends and industrial SMPS.
For engineers reviewing the GBL005H datasheet, GBL005H pinout, GBL005H application, or GBL005H equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 150A IFSM rating, 13°C/W RθJL thermal resistance, UL E-326243 recognition, and halogen-free compliance per IEC 61249-2-21.
Technical Context
The GBL005H integrates four silicon diodes in a single-phase full-wave bridge configuration with common-cathode/common-anode topology. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage performance up to 125°C, while the GBL molded case supports PCB mounting with J-STD-002-compliant matte tin leads.
Thermally, it delivers 13°C/W junction-to-lead resistance and 32°C/W junction-to-ambient resistance under free-air conditions. Electrical behavior is defined by 1.1V max VF at 4A/25°C and 5µA max IR at rated 50V reverse voltage and 25°C ambient.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBU4A | Same 4A/50V rating but non-AEC-Q101; higher VF (1.15V typ); RθJA = 40°C/W | Lacks automotive qualification; suitable for commercial adapters only | Select GBU4A only when AEC-Q101 is not required and thermal margin permits higher RθJA |
| DF005M | 4A/50V, AEC-Q101 qualified; smaller DO-201AD package; lower IFSM (120A); RθJL = 15°C/W | Lower surge capability limits use in high-inrush designs; tighter PCB footprint | Choose DF005M where board space is critical and surge events are controlled |
Compared with GBU4A and DF005M, the GBL005H uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 150A IFSM, and 13°C/W RθJL - making it optimal for thermally constrained, high-reliability automotive and industrial rectification where both surge robustness and thermal coupling matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the GBL005H?
The GBL005H has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max) of +150°C, verified per AEC-Q101 stress testing. This rating allows reliable operation in under-hood automotive locations and enclosed industrial enclosures where ambient temperatures exceed 100°C. Derating curves in the GBL005H datasheet specify safe IF reduction above 50°C case temperature.
Does the GBL005H meet automotive reliability standards?
Yes, the GBL005H is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as indicated by the "H" suffix in its ordering code. It has passed temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), and highly accelerated stress test (HAST) per the AEC-Q101 standard - confirming suitability for automotive power electronics including lighting and body control modules.
What is the forward voltage drop of the GBL005H at rated current?
The GBL005H exhibits a maximum forward voltage drop (VF) of 1.1 V at 4 A and 25°C junction temperature, measured per diode under pulsed conditions (PW = 0.3 ms). At 2 A, VF is ≤1.0 V. This low VF contributes to reduced conduction losses in high-efficiency SMPS designs.
How is thermal performance characterized for the GBL005H?
The GBL005H provides three thermal resistance values: RθJL = 13°C/W (junction-to-lead), RθJC = 8°C/W (junction-to-case), and RθJA = 32°C/W (junction-to-ambient, free air). These values are measured per JEDEC standards and enable accurate thermal modeling when mounted on PCB copper pads or aluminum heat sinks.
Is the GBL005H lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes, the GBL005H is fully RoHS compliant and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. Its matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 for solderability, and the molding compound satisfies UL 94V-0 flammability requirements - supporting environmental compliance and safety certification for global end equipment.
