Product details
Overview
GBL02-E3/51 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a glass-passivated single-phase bridge rectifier with 200 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 1.0 V forward voltage at 4.0 A, 5 μA maximum DC reverse current at rated voltage, and operates from –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature. It is used in AC/DC full-wave rectification for SMPS, adapters, and home appliances.
For engineers reviewing the GBL02-E3/51 datasheet, GBL02-E3/51 pinout, GBL02-E3/51 application, or GBL02-E3/51 equivalent, key selection considerations include its GBL package thermal resistance (RθJC = 3.5 °C/W), UL E54214 recognition, matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002, and suitability for PCB mounting with 0.5" × 0.5" copper pads.
Technical Context
The GBL02-E3/51 implements an in-line, four-diode single-phase bridge configuration with glass passivation for enhanced reliability under thermal cycling and humidity stress. Its 200 V VRRM rating targets mid-voltage AC line inputs in universal-input switch-mode power supplies.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJC = 3.5 °C/W (case-to-junction) and RθJA = 22 °C/W (junction-to-ambient, PCB-mounted), enabling operation up to 150 °C TJ with appropriate copper pad layout per JESD 22-B102 solderability requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - supports rectification of 141 V RMS AC input (e.g., 100–120 VAC nominal with margin) |
| IF(AV) | 4.0 A at TC = 50 °C - continuous DC output capability with heatsink or PCB copper area |
| IFSM | 150 A - withstands single half-sine surge events common during cold-start inductive loads |
| VF @ 4.0 A | 1.0 V - total bridge forward drop is ~2.0 V, defining conduction loss and thermal load |
| IR @ 200 V | 5 μA max at 25 °C - ensures low leakage in high-impedance hold-up or standby circuits |
| TJ max. | 150 °C - enables use in thermally constrained enclosures without derating below ambient 70 °C |
| RθJC | 3.5 °C/W - allows direct case-to-heatsink thermal path for high-power density designs |
Pinout & Package
Package: GBL - molded plastic case with UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, 0.815–0.825" length, 0.411–0.421" width, 0.682–0.718" height, matte tin-plated leads, polarity marked on body (positive lead at beveled corner).

Use Value: Glass passivation resists condensation and cleaning agent exposure; GBL footprint fits compact board layouts. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBL02E | Same VRRM (200 V), IF(AV) (4 A), and package; E suffix denotes enhanced reliability screening and extended temperature qualification. | Preferred for automotive or industrial applications requiring AEC-Q200 alignment or extended life testing. | Select GBL02E when long-term reliability validation or higher confidence in parametric stability across temperature/lifetime is required. |
| GBU2K | Same 200 V VRRM and 4 A IF(AV), but GBU package (larger footprint, RθJC = 2.5 °C/W); VF = 1.05 V at 4 A. | Better thermal performance in heatsink-mounted configurations; less suitable for dense PCB layouts. | Choose GBU2K only when lower thermal resistance justifies larger board area and mechanical mounting provisions. |
Compared with GBL02E and GBU2K, the GBL02-E3/51 offers optimal balance of certified commercial-grade reliability, compact GBL footprint, and verified PCB thermal performance-making it ideal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained consumer and industrial power supplies where UL recognition and J-STD-002 solderability are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for GBL02-E3/51?
The GBL02-E3/51 has a maximum operating junction temperature (TJ max.) of +150 °C. This rating allows sustained operation in thermally demanding environments such as enclosed power supplies or high-ambient-temperature industrial equipment. Derating curves in the Vishay datasheet (Document Number 88609) specify usable IF(AV) versus ambient or case temperature, and thermal design must respect RθJC = 3.5 °C/W to avoid exceeding this limit. The GBL02-E3/51 achieves this rating through glass passivation and optimized die attachment within the GBL package.
Does GBL02-E3/51 meet RoHS and lead-free soldering requirements?
Yes, the GBL02-E3/51 is RoHS-compliant (per EU Directive 2011/65/EU) and qualified for lead-free soldering. The "E3" suffix explicitly denotes RoHS-compliant, commercial-grade construction with matte tin-plated leads that meet J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards. It also passes JESD 201 Class 1A whisker testing, ensuring reliability under thermal cycling. No exemption codes apply-the GBL02-E3/51 contains no lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE above threshold limits.
What is the pin configuration and polarity marking for GBL02-E3/51?
The GBL02-E3/51 uses a standard 4-pin GBL bridge rectifier layout: AC1 and AC2 are the two AC input terminals; "+" is the positive DC output (anode side); "–" is the negative DC output (cathode side). Polarity is marked on the front side of the case, with the positive lead identified by a beveled corner. This configuration matches industry-standard bridge symbols and simplifies schematic capture and PCB layout verification. Mounting orientation must align with the silkscreen polarity mark to ensure correct DC polarity in the final assembly.
How does GBL02-E3/51 compare to GBL02 in terms of packaging and compliance?
The GBL02-E3/51 is the RoHS-compliant, tape-and-reel variant of the base GBL02 part. While both share identical electrical specifications (200 V VRRM, 4 A IF(AV), 1.0 V VF), the "E3" suffix confirms matte tin plating and JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance, and "/51" indicates anti-static PVC tray packaging (400 units per tray). The legacy GBL02 may lack RoHS documentation or modern solderability validation. For new designs, GBL02-E3/51 is the recommended version due to guaranteed compliance and process consistency across manufacturing lots.
Is GBL02-E3/51 suitable for use in medical or automotive applications?
The GBL02-E3/51 is rated for commercial-grade operation (–55 °C to +150 °C) and carries UL E54214 recognition, but it is not AEC-Q200 qualified or specifically designed for medical safety-critical systems. For automotive use, Vishay recommends the enhanced GBL02E variant, which undergoes additional reliability screening. In non-life-sustaining medical peripherals (e.g., external power adapters), GBL02-E3/51 may be acceptable if validated per IEC 60601-1 insulation and creepage requirements-but system-level certification remains the customer's responsibility. Always consult Vishay's application engineering team before deploying GBL02-E3/51 in regulated environments.
