GBJL2506-BP

Overview

The GBJL2506-BP is a single-phase glass passivated bridge rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It features an average forward current of 25 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V. The device utilizes a through-hole GBJL package with solder pin termination, suitable for PCB mounting. Electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.05 V at 25°C and a maximum DC reverse current of 10 µA at rated blocking voltage. It supports a peak forward surge current of 350 A for an 8.3 ms half-sine wave pulse. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated chip construction provides high reliability and resistance to mechanical stress.
• Low forward voltage drop design minimizes power loss and heat generation during operation.
• High surge current capability ensures robust performance against transient load conditions.

Applications

• Printed circuit board mounting in general-purpose power supplies.
• AC to DC conversion circuits requiring high current handling.
• Industrial equipment power stages operating under standard environmental conditions.

Procurement Notes

Verify the part number suffix to confirm RoHS compliance status, as the "-BP" designation indicates lead-free finish and RoHS compliance per manufacturer specifications. Ensure procurement channels are authorized distributors to guarantee genuine components with full traceability. Check for halogen-free availability if required by specific regulatory standards, which may necessitate an additional "-HF" suffix. Confirm packaging details, such as bulk quantities, align with production requirements before ordering.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 600 V reverse voltage rating and 25 A continuous current capacity are required for through-hole applications. Consider the GBJL package dimensions and thermal resistance characteristics for heatsinking strategies. Evaluate the forward voltage drop and reverse leakage current against efficiency targets. Ensure the operating environment stays within the specified -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range for optimal longevity.

Part Context

The GBJL2506-BP belongs to the GBJL series of high-current bridge rectifiers from Micro Commercial Components. This series offers enhanced current capabilities compared to standard GBJ packages, designed for demanding power applications. The GBJL2506 variant specifically addresses 600 V systems, providing a balance of voltage withstand and current carrying capacity for industrial and commercial power electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 25 A current rating, 600 V reverse voltage, and GBJL package footprint. Verify that substitute components maintain similar forward voltage and surge current specifications to ensure circuit compatibility without redesigning thermal management or PCB layout constraints.

FAQ

What is the typical junction capacitance of the GBJL2506-BP?

The typical junction capacitance is 85 pF, measured at 1.0 MHz with a reverse voltage of 4.0 V at 25°C.

How does the average forward current change with case temperature?

The device supports 25 A at a case temperature of 100°C. Derating curves indicate reduced current capacity as case temperature increases beyond this point without a heatsink.

Is the GBJL2506-BP halogen-free?

The standard "-BP" suffix denotes RoHS compliance but not necessarily halogen-free status. Halogen-free versions are available upon request by adding the "-HF" suffix to the part number.
