GBJA1502-BP

Overview

The GBJA1502-BP is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It utilizes glass passivated junction technology for enhanced reliability. The component features an average forward current rating of 15 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 V. It operates within a temperature range from -55 °C to +150 °C. The device employs a through-hole mounting style with solder pin terminations in a JA-4 package. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 240 A at 60 Hz, a typical forward voltage drop of 1.05 V, and a maximum reverse leakage current of 10 µA.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated junction construction ensures stable performance and long-term reliability under varying thermal conditions.
• High surge current capability allows the component to withstand transient overloads during power-up or fault conditions.
• Through-hole JA-4 package design facilitates robust mechanical attachment and efficient heat dissipation for high-current applications.

Applications

• AC-to-DC power supply circuits requiring 15 A output current
• Battery charging systems operating at low voltage levels
• General-purpose rectification in industrial control equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and manufacturer lot codes upon receipt to ensure compliance with project specifications. Confirm RoHS and REACH SVHC status via the official datasheet or supplier documentation before integration. Check for any end-of-life notifications or recommended new design alternatives if sourcing for long-term production runs. Ensure storage conditions meet semiconductor handling standards to prevent moisture sensitivity issues prior to assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 15 A continuous current rating and 200 V blocking voltage are required in a standard through-hole configuration. Compare the forward voltage drop and thermal resistance against alternative packages if space constraints exist. Verify that the operating ambient temperature does not exceed the specified limits without adequate heatsinking. Consider the physical dimensions of the JA-4 package for PCB layout compatibility.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBJA series of glass passivated bridge rectifiers from Micro Commercial Components. The series offers various current and voltage ratings to suit different power conversion needs. The GBJA1502-BP specifically targets applications needing moderate voltage blocking with high current capacity. It shares the same footprint and pinout as other variants in the GBJ/GBJA family, allowing for potential design flexibility within similar power ranges.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 15 A current rating, 200 V reverse voltage, and JA-4 through-hole package. Verify equivalent forward voltage and surge current capabilities. Consult manufacturer cross-reference lists for verified substitutes. Ensure any replacement maintains the same glass passivation technology and operating temperature range.
