GBJ1510

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The MDD GBJ1510 is a single-phase through-hole silicon bridge rectifier in the GBJ series. It features a molded plastic body with UL 94V-0 flammability classification and solder-plated terminals. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1000 V and an average forward rectified current of 15 A at a case temperature of 100°C. Key electrical characteristics include a typical forward voltage drop of 1.0 V at 7.5 A, a peak forward surge current of 240 A, and a DC reverse current of 10 µA at 25°C. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the original MDD part number GBJ1510. Confirm compliance with RoHS and RoHS III standards as specified in the datasheet. Ensure the package type corresponds to bulk packaging requirements if applicable. Check terminal solderability against MIL-STD-750 Method 2026 for proper integration into manufacturing processes.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1000 V blocking voltage and 15 A continuous current are required in a through-hole configuration. Consider the thermal resistance values for heatsinking needs, noting the typical junction-to-case resistance. Evaluate the operating temperature range to ensure suitability for environments between -55°C and +150°C. Verify physical dimensions fit the target PCB layout constraints.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

The GBJ1510 belongs to the GBJ series of single-phase bridge rectifiers manufactured by MDD. This series offers various voltage ratings from 50 V to 1000 V with current capacities typically ranging from 15 A to 50 A.
