GBPC1210

Overview

The onsemi GBPC1210 is a single-phase bridge rectifier from the GBPC series, rated for a maximum repetitive reverse voltage of 1000 V and an average rectified forward current of 12 A at a case temperature of 55°C. It features a non-repetitive peak forward surge current capability of 300 A over an 8.3 ms half-sine wave. The device exhibits a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.1 V per bridge at 6.0 A and a maximum reverse current of 5 µA at 25°C. Thermal resistance from junction to case is 1.5°C/W with a heatsink, supporting power dissipation up to 83.3 W. Operating and storage temperatures range from -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrally molded heat sink provides very low thermal resistance for maximum heat dissipation.
• Terminals are finished with nickel plating for the standard GBPC package.
• Case to lead isolation voltage exceeds 2500 V.

Applications

• Power supply circuits requiring high-voltage rectification
• Industrial equipment power stages
• General-purpose AC to DC conversion

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm the correct terminal configuration and packing method. The standard GBPC variant utilizes screw mounting terminals with nickel finish, while the GBPC-W variant employs wire leads. Confirm compliance requirements such as UL certification status and RoHS/Pb-free designation directly from the datasheet before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1000 V blocking voltage and 12 A continuous current rating are required in a compact form factor. Ensure the application allows for adequate heatsinking to maintain the junction-to-case thermal resistance within specified limits. Verify that the expected surge currents do not exceed the 300 A non-repetitive peak rating for the specified pulse width.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBPC 12, 15, 25, and 35 series of bridge rectifiers manufactured by onsemi. The series offers various voltage ratings from 50 V to 1000 V across different current capacities. The GBPC1210 specifically addresses the 12 A current class with the highest voltage option in its group, utilizing the standardized CASE 160AD mechanical outline.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible alternatives include other GBPC12xx parts from onsemi with lower voltage ratings if the system design permits, or equivalent 12 A / 1000 V bridge rectifiers from other manufacturers using the same GBPC footprint and pinout.
