**LRC** · Bridge Rectifiers · GBU

GBU15J from LRC, in a GBU. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

## Pinout

| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | - | power_out | DC negative output of the bridge, marked "−" on the package body; the datasheet rates average rectified output current of 15 A at Tc=100℃. |
| 2 | AC1 | passive | AC input terminal marked "~"; the datasheet rates VRMS of 420 V for GBU15J. |
| 3 | AC2 | passive | AC input terminal marked "~"; the datasheet rates VRMS of 420 V for GBU15J. |
| 4 | + | power_out | DC positive output of the bridge, marked "+" on the package body; the datasheet rates VRRM of 600 V for GBU15J. |

## CAD (KiCad official)

- Symbol: `GBU15J`
- Footprint: `Diode_THT:Diode_Bridge_Vishay_GBU`
- 3D model: GBU (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
- 3D model files: `gbu15j-etched.step` / `gbu15j-etched.glb` carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable `Adom.LaserEtch` group (Fusion-ready); `gbu15j.step` / `gbu15j.glb` are the bare package body.
