The GBL10 is a single-phase bridge rectifier commonly used in AC to DC conversion applications. It is designed to handle a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 1000V and an average forward rectified current (IF(AV)) of 4A. This makes it suitable for various electronic devices, including monitors, TVs, printers, switch-mode power supplies (SMPS), adapters, audio equipment, and home appliances.

Key Specifications:

• Maximum Repetitive Peak Reverse Voltage (VRRM): 1000V
• Maximum Average Forward Rectified Current (IF(AV)): 4A
• Forward Voltage Drop (VF) at 4A: Approximately 1.0V
• Peak Forward Surge Current (IFSM): 150A
• Operating Junction Temperature Range (TJ): -55°C to +150°C

These specifications indicate that the GBL10 can efficiently convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) in circuits requiring up to 4A of current and can withstand significant voltage levels, making it versatile for various power rectification needs.

Physical Characteristics:

The GBL10 bridge rectifier typically comes in a GBL case style, which is designed for through-hole mounting. This package is ideal for printed circuit boards (PCBs) and offers high surge current capability, making it suitable for applications where space and durability are considerations.

Applications:

Due to its robust voltage and current handling capabilities, the GBL10 is commonly used in:

• AC/DC Bridge Full-Wave Rectification: Converting AC input into DC output for electronic devices.
• Power Supplies: Used in switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) and adapters to provide DC power to various electronics.
• Consumer Electronics: Found in devices like monitors, TVs, printers, and audio equipment.
• Home Appliances: Utilized in various household appliances requiring DC power derived from AC sources.
