GBU6J-E3

Vishay Intertech · Bridge Rectifiers · GBU

GBU6J-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 DC negative output of the bridge, marked "-" on the case body; the cathodes of the two lower diodes connect here.
2 2 passive AC input terminal, marked "~" on the case body.
3 3 passive AC input terminal, marked "~" on the case body.
4 + passive DC positive output of the bridge, marked "+" on the case body; it is the lead by the beveled corner.
