GBU8M

LRC · Bridge Rectifiers · GBU

GBU8M 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 + passive Positive DC output terminal of the bridge, leftmost lead in the circuit diagram.
2 2 passive AC input terminal; the datasheet rates the bridge at VRM 1000 V for GBU8M.
3 3 passive AC input terminal; the datasheet rates the bridge at 8 A average forward current with heatsink at Tc=100°C.
4 - passive Negative DC output terminal of the bridge, rightmost lead in the circuit diagram.

CAD (KiCad official)

  • Symbol: GBU8M
  • Footprint: Diode_THT:Diode_Bridge_Vishay_GBU
  • 3D model: GBU (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
  • 3D model files: gbu8m-etched.step / gbu8m-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); gbu8m.step / gbu8m.glb are the bare package body.
