Product details
Overview
GBL10E-E3/A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a glass passivated single-phase bridge rectifier with 1000 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 operates from -55 °C to +150 °C, features matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002, and is used in AC/DC full-wave rectification for SMPS, adapters, and home appliances.
For engineers reviewing the GBL10E-E3/A datasheet, GBL10E-E3/A pinout, GBL10E-E3/A application, or GBL10E-E3/A equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM rating, thermal resistance (RθJA = 28 °C/W), surge capability (IFSM = 150 A), and RoHS-compliant E3 suffix with JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance.
Technical Context
This device implements an in-line, four-diode bridge configuration in a molded GBL package with UL 94 V-0 flammability-rated compound. Its glass passivation ensures stable reverse characteristics up to 150 °C junction temperature, and its low typical reverse leakage (5 μA at 25 °C) supports reliable operation in high-impedance DC bus monitoring.
The GBL10E-E3/A delivers 1.0 V forward voltage drop per diode at 4.0 A, enabling predictable conduction loss in compact power supplies. Its 2.2 °C/W junction-to-mount thermal resistance (RθJM) is optimized for mounting on aluminum plates or copper pads per JEDEC 51-14, supporting thermal management in space-constrained designs.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBL10K-E3/54 | Same VRRM (1000 V), IF(AV) (4 A), and package; differs in packaging (tape-and-reel vs. paper tray) and minor thermal test condition notation | Identical functional use; suited for automated SMT assembly where tape-and-reel format is required | Select GBL10K-E3/54 when reel-fed pick-and-place is needed; GBL10E-E3/A is optimized for manual or semi-automated insertion with paper tray delivery |
| GBU10K | Same VRRM (1000 V) and IF(AV) (4 A), but GBU package (larger footprint, higher RθJA ≈ 35 °C/W); VF = 1.05 V | Acceptable in less thermally constrained designs; not drop-in due to different lead spacing and body dimensions | Choose GBU10K only if board layout accommodates larger GBU outline and thermal margin permits higher RθJA |
Compared with GBL10K-E3/54 and GBU10K, the GBL10E-E3/A offers identical electrical performance in a cost-optimized paper-tray format with verified 28 °C/W thermal resistance-making it ideal for medium-volume adapter and appliance production where packaging efficiency and thermal predictability are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for GBL10E-E3/A?
The GBL10E-E3/A has a specified operating junction temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C. This maximum rating allows reliable operation in enclosed power supplies and ambient temperatures up to +70 °C when mounted on appropriate copper area or aluminum plate per JEDEC 51-2A. Thermal design must ensure that actual TJ does not exceed 150 °C under worst-case load and ambient conditions for GBL10E-E3/A.
Does GBL10E-E3/A meet RoHS and lead-free requirements?
Yes, the GBL10E-E3/A is RoHS-compliant and features matte tin-plated leads that satisfy J-STD-002 solderability standards. The "E3" suffix confirms compliance with JESD 201 Class 1A whisker testing and meets Vishay's material categorization per doc# 99912. No lead or other restricted substances exceed EU RoHS limits in GBL10E-E3/A.
What is the forward voltage drop of GBL10E-E3/A at rated current?
The GBL10E-E3/A exhibits a maximum instantaneous forward voltage drop of 1.0 V per diode at 4.0 A forward current and 25 °C junction temperature. Since the bridge contains two diodes conducting in series during each half-cycle, the total conduction drop is typically 2.0 V across the output terminals under those conditions-critical for calculating conduction losses in GBL10E-E3/A-based designs.
Can GBL10E-E3/A be used in place of GBL10K?
GBL10E-E3/A and GBL10K share identical electrical specifications (VRRM = 1000 V, IF(AV) = 4 A, VF = 1.0 V), same GBL package outline, and UL E54214 recognition. The primary difference is packaging: GBL10K uses tube delivery, while GBL10E-E3/A uses paper tray. No electrical or mechanical redesign is needed when substituting GBL10E-E3/A for GBL10K in existing layouts.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for GBL10E-E3/A?
The typical thermal resistance junction-to-ambient (RθJA) for GBL10E-E3/A is 28 °C/W when mounted on a standard FR4 PCB with 2 oz. copper per JEDEC 51-2A. This value assumes the recommended copper pad area; actual RθJA will vary with board layout, airflow, and mounting method. For accurate thermal modeling of GBL10E-E3/A, use RθJM = 2.2 °C/W when referencing a metal chassis or heatsink.
