Product details
Overview
GBL01E-E3/P from Vishay General Semiconductor is a glass passivated single-phase bridge rectifier with 100 V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 4 A average forward rectified output current (IF(AV)), and 150 A peak forward surge current (IFSM). It features low forward voltage drop (1.0 V at 4.0 A), 5 μA maximum DC reverse current at rated voltage, and operates across -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range - used in AC/DC power supplies for printers, audio equipment, and SMPS.
For engineers reviewing the GBL01E-E3/P datasheet, GBL01E-E3/P pinout, GBL01E-E3/P application, or GBL01E-E3/P equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM rating, thermal resistance (RθJA = 28 °C/W), surge capability (IFSM = 150 A), RoHS-compliant matte tin plating, and UL recognition (E54214) for safety-critical AC/DC conversion stages.
Technical Context
This device implements a full-wave bridge configuration using four silicon diodes in a single GBL package, enabling efficient AC-to-DC conversion without external wiring. Its glass passivation ensures stable reverse characteristics up to 125 °C, with typical junction capacitance of 50 pF per diode at 4.0 V and 1 MHz.
The GBL01E-E3/P is rated for 93 A²s I²t fusing capacity under 8.3 ms sine-wave surge, and achieves high case dielectric strength suitable for isolation-critical applications. Thermal performance is specified with RθJM = 2.2 °C/W (junction-to-mount) when mounted on an aluminum plate per JEDEC 51-14.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - supports input AC line voltages up to ~70 VRMS in full-wave rectification. |
| IF(AV) | 4.0 A - continuous DC output current capability at 25 °C ambient with recommended PCB copper area. |
| IFSM | 150 A - withstands short-duration inrush surges common during power-up of capacitive-input SMPS. |
| VF @ 4.0 A | 1.0 V - total forward drop across two series diodes in conduction path, limiting conduction loss to ≤4 W at full load. |
| IR @ VDC | 5 μA - low leakage preserves efficiency in high-impedance hold-up or standby circuits. |
| TJ max. | +150 °C - enables operation in thermally constrained enclosures without derating below 2.6 A at 100 °C ambient. |
| RθJA | 28 °C/W - requires ≥7.5 cm × 7.5 cm aluminum heatsink or equivalent copper pour for full 4 A rating. |
Pinout & Package
Package: GBL - molded plastic case with in-line terminal configuration, UL 94 V-0 rated, 0.811" × 0.409" × 0.209" (20.6 mm × 10.4 mm × 5.3 mm), matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AC1 | Input AC terminal 1 | One of two AC input nodes; connected internally to anode of D1 and cathode of D2 in bridge topology. |
| AC2 | Input AC terminal 2 | Second AC input node; connected internally to cathode of D1 and anode of D2 - forms full-wave input pair. |
| + | Positive DC output | Common cathode connection of D1 and D3; delivers rectified positive voltage to load/filter capacitor. |
| – | Negative DC output | Common anode connection of D2 and D4; serves as return path and ground reference for DC output. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| UL recognition | E54214 - certified for use in end-equipment requiring safety-agency approval without additional system-level testing. |
| Enhanced thermal capability | RθJM = 2.2 °C/W - enables direct mounting to metal chassis for high-power density designs without discrete heatsinks. |
| High surge current capability | IFSM = 150 A - sustains repeated cold-start surges in printer power supplies and audio amplifiers. |
| Glass passivation | Stable IR < 500 μA at 125 °C - maintains reverse blocking integrity in elevated-temperature environments like enclosed adapters. |
| RoHS-compliant terminals | E3 suffix - matte tin plating meets JESD 201 Class 1A whisker test, ensuring long-term solder joint reliability. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBU1K-E3/54 | Same GBU package (larger footprint), 1000 V VRRM, 1 A IF(AV), lower IFSM (35 A) | Better suited for higher-voltage universal-input designs but limited to 1 A continuous output | Select when higher VRRM margin is required and average current ≤1 A; not a drop-in replacement due to package and current mismatch |
| DF02MA | GBJ package, 200 V VRRM, 2 A IF(AV), 60 A IFSM, no UL recognition | Lower cost alternative for non-safety-certified consumer devices with reduced surge and voltage requirements | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-UL applications where 2 A output and 200 V blocking suffice; different pinout and thermal profile |
Compared with GBL01E-E3/P, GBU1K-E3/54 offers higher voltage rating but significantly lower current capacity and incompatible packaging, while DF02MA trades UL certification and thermal performance for lower cost and smaller footprint in less demanding applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for GBL01E-E3/P?
The GBL01E-E3/P has an operating junction temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C. At maximum ambient temperature (100 °C), its average forward current must be derated to 2.6 A per the datasheet's derating curve. The device's RθJA of 28 °C/W requires adequate copper area or heatsinking to maintain TJ ≤ 150 °C under full 4 A load. GBL01E-E3/P thermal design must account for both steady-state and transient surge conditions.
Is GBL01E-E3/P RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, GBL01E-E3/P is RoHS-compliant and lead-free, indicated by the "E3" suffix. Its matte tin-plated terminals meet JESD 201 Class 1A whisker test requirements and are solderable per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. The molding compound complies with UL 94 V-0 flammability rating. GBL01E-E3/P is qualified for commercial-grade applications and carries no exemptions under EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU.
Does GBL01E-E3/P have UL safety certification?
Yes, GBL01E-E3/P carries UL recognition under file number E54214. This certification covers the device's dielectric strength, flammability (UL 94 V-0), and construction integrity for use in end equipment requiring agency approval. UL listing applies specifically to the GBL01E-E3/P variant and supports simplified system-level safety compliance when used per Vishay's mounting and derating guidelines. GBL01E-E3/P is not certified to CSA or VDE standards.
What is the forward voltage drop of GBL01E-E3/P at rated current?
The GBL01E-E3/P exhibits a maximum instantaneous forward voltage drop of 1.0 V per diode at 4.0 A and 25 °C. Since a bridge conducts through two diodes in series during each half-cycle, the total forward drop across the device is 2.0 V at full load - resulting in ≤8 W conduction loss. This value increases with junction temperature and must be factored into thermal design. GBL01E-E3/P VF remains stable across its operating temperature range due to glass passivation.
Can GBL01E-E3/P replace GBL005E-E3/P in a design?
No, GBL01E-E3/P is not a direct replacement for GBL005E-E3/P due to differing VRRM ratings: GBL005E-E3/P is rated for 50 V, while GBL01E-E3/P is rated for 100 V. Although both share identical package, pinout, IF(AV), and thermal specs, substituting GBL01E-E3/P in a 50 V-design may introduce unnecessary cost and potential compatibility issues with lower-voltage-rated downstream components. GBL01E-E3/P should only be used where 100 V blocking is required or verified safe.
