GBJL1510-BP

Overview

The GBJL1510-BP is a single-phase glass passivated bridge rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It provides an average forward current of 15 A and supports peak repetitive reverse voltages up to 1000 V. The device features a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.05 V at 25°C and a typical junction capacitance of 60 pF measured at 1.0 MHz. It withstands a peak forward surge current of 240 A for an 8.3 ms half-sine wave. Operating temperatures range from -55°C to +150°C, with the component housed in a GBJ surface-mount package.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated chip construction ensures high reliability and stability under various operating conditions.
• Low forward voltage drop design contributes to improved efficiency and reduced power loss during conduction.
• High surge current capability allows the device to handle transient overloads without failure.

Applications

• Printed circuit board mounting for AC-DC conversion circuits
• Power supply units requiring high-voltage rectification

Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix matches the required compliance standards, as the "-BP" designation indicates RoHS compliance. Confirm the specific voltage rating aligns with the application's peak inverse voltage requirements. Ensure procurement channels are authorized distributors to guarantee genuine components and full traceability. Check for halogen-free availability if environmental regulations require the addition of the "-HF" suffix to the part number.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 15 A continuous current rating and 1000 V blocking voltage are necessary for surface-mount applications. Consider the thermal derating characteristics provided in the datasheet curves to ensure adequate heat dissipation at elevated case temperatures. Verify that the GBJ package dimensions fit the available PCB real estate and that the soldering process accommodates the specified lead-free finish and high-temperature solder exemption.

Part Context

This component belongs to the GBJL series of glass passivated bridge rectifiers from MCC. The series covers voltage ratings from 50 V to 1000 V, sharing common mechanical and electrical characteristics such as the 15 A current rating and similar package footprint. The GBJL1510 specifically denotes the 1000 V variant within this lineup, designed for robust performance in general-purpose rectification tasks.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other GBJL1510 variants from different manufacturers or equivalent GBJ-series parts with matching 15 A and 1000 V ratings. Ensure any replacement maintains the same GBJ package dimensions and pinout configuration. Verify that alternative components meet the same temperature and surge current specifications to maintain circuit integrity.

FAQ
