Product details
Overview
GBL08E-E3/A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a glass passivated single-phase bridge rectifier with 800 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 25 °C, and operates from –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature - used in AC/DC power supplies for printers, adapters, and audio equipment.
For engineers reviewing the GBL08E-E3/A datasheet, GBL08E-E3/A pinout, GBL08E-E3/A application, or GBL08E-E3/A equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM rating for input voltage margin, thermal resistance (RθJA = 28 °C/W) for heatsinking design, IFSM for inrush survivability, and RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated leads for reliable soldering per J-STD-002.
Technical Context
The GBL08E-E3/A implements a standard in-line single-phase full-wave bridge configuration with four silicon diodes integrated into a molded GBL package. Its glass passivation ensures stable reverse characteristics across temperature, with typical junction capacitance of 50 pF per diode at 4.0 V and 1 MHz.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJA = 28 °C/W (on FR4 PCB, 2 oz. copper) and RθJM = 2.2 °C/W (junction-to-mount), supporting high-power-density designs when mounted on aluminum plates or thermally enhanced pads per JEDEC 51-2A and 51-14 standards.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBL06E-E3/A | VRRM = 600 V (vs. 800 V); identical IF(AV), IFSM, package, and thermal specs | Limited to 420 V RMS inputs; unsuitable for 277 VAC industrial or high-line universal designs | Select only if input voltage is confirmed ≤ 420 V RMS and cost optimization is prioritized |
| KBU8M (ON Semiconductor) | Same VRRM (800 V), IF(AV) = 8 A, larger KBU package (1.02" × 0.41"), higher RθJA (~35 °C/W) | Higher current headroom but requires larger PCB footprint and more thermal management effort | Choose when >4 A continuous load or legacy KBU footprint compatibility is required |
Compared with GBL06E-E3/A, the GBL08E-E3/A adds 200 V reverse margin for robustness in fluctuating line conditions; versus KBU8M, it offers smaller GBL footprint and lower thermal resistance despite identical VRRM, favoring space-constrained consumer power designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for GBL08E-E3/A?
The GBL08E-E3/A has a specified operating junction temperature range of –55 °C to +150 °C. This allows deployment in sealed enclosures or high-ambient environments like industrial control panels or automotive under-hood auxiliary systems. Derating curves in the datasheet (Document 98472) define allowable IF(AV) reduction above 25 °C ambient based on thermal resistance and mounting conditions.
Is GBL08E-E3/A compatible with lead-free soldering processes?
Yes, GBL08E-E3/A is qualified for lead-free soldering per JESD 22-B106: it withstands solder dip at 275 °C for up to 10 seconds. Its matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability requirements and JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance, making it suitable for both wave and reflow assembly in RoHS-compliant manufacturing lines.
Does GBL08E-E3/A require a heatsink in standard applications?
GBL08E-E3/A can operate without an external heatsink at full 4 A load only when mounted on a 3.0" × 3.0" × 0.11" aluminum plate (RθJA ≈ 10 °C/W). On standard FR4 PCBs with 2 oz. copper, RθJA = 28 °C/W limits continuous current to ~2.6 A at 25 °C ambient. Heatsinking is recommended for sustained >2 A loads or elevated ambient temperatures.
What does the "E3/A" suffix mean in GBL08E-E3/A?
The "E3" suffix indicates RoHS-compliant construction and JEDEC JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance; "A" denotes packaging in paper trays (400 units per tray), as opposed to "P" for tube packaging. Both variants share identical electrical and thermal specifications - the suffix reflects environmental compliance and logistics format only.
How does GBL08E-E3/A compare to GBL10E-E3/A in terms of voltage rating?
GBL08E-E3/A has a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 800 V, while GBL10E-E3/A is rated for 1000 V. Both share identical IF(AV) = 4 A, IFSM = 150 A, VF = 1.0 V, and package dimensions. The 200 V difference determines suitability for specific line-voltage ranges - GBL08E-E3/A suffices for 277 VAC industrial systems, whereas GBL10E-E3/A targets 380–400 VAC three-phase-derived supplies.
