GBU6K-E3 from Vishay Intertech, 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 | - | passive | Negative DC output of the bridge rectifier, the leftmost lead in the case-style drawing; the datasheet gives IF(AV) 6.0 A at TC = 90 °C. |
| 2 | 2 | passive | AC input lead of the bridge; the datasheet gives VRMS of 560 V for the GBU6K. |
| 3 | 3 | passive | Second AC input lead of the bridge; the datasheet gives VRMS of 560 V for the GBU6K. |
| 4 | + | passive | Positive DC output of the bridge rectifier, the lead by the beveled corner; the datasheet gives VRRM of 800 V for the GBU6K. |
