GBJA15005-BP

Overview

The GBJA15005-BP is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It utilizes silicon technology and features a JA-4 through-hole package with solder pin termination. The device supports an average forward current of 15 A and a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 50 V, with a maximum RMS voltage rating of 35 V. Key electrical parameters include a forward voltage drop of 1.05 V at rated current, a maximum non-repetitive peak surge current of 220 A, and a reverse leakage current of 5 uA. It operates within a temperature range of -55 C to +150 C junction temperature.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated chip construction for enhanced environmental stability and reliability under varying thermal conditions.
• High surge current capability designed to withstand transient overloads during power-up or fault events.
• Epoxy compound meets UL 94 V-0 flammability ratings for improved safety compliance in enclosed assemblies.

Applications

• AC-DC power supply circuits requiring compact bridge rectification.
• Battery charging systems operating within low-voltage DC ranges.
• General-purpose rectification in industrial control equipment.

Procurement Notes

Verify the current lifecycle status before procurement, as this component may be marked as Not Recommended for New Designs (NRND). Confirm RoHS and REACH SVHC compliance details directly from the manufacturer's latest documentation. Ensure the JA-4 package dimensions align with existing PCB footprints. Check for specific suffix variations if halogen-free requirements are mandatory for the target application.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 15 A current rating and 50 V reverse voltage are sufficient for the circuit design. The JA-4 through-hole package is suitable for manual assembly or standard wave soldering processes. Compare the 1.05 V forward voltage drop against efficiency requirements; lower Vf options may exist in different series. Ensure the 220 A surge rating exceeds the expected inrush currents of the connected load to prevent device failure.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBJA series of glass-passivated bridge rectifiers from MCC. It shares the JA-4 mechanical footprint with other variants in the family, such as the GBJA25005-BP, which offers higher current capacity. The series is characterized by its robust epoxy encapsulation and suitability for general-purpose rectification tasks where moderate current handling is required.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include the GBJA25005-BP for higher current needs. Cross-manufacturer equivalents should match the 15 A/50 V specifications and JA-4 package dimensions. Verify that any replacement maintains similar forward voltage and surge current characteristics to ensure circuit compatibility.
