GBPC1210W

Overview

The onsemi GBPC1210W is a single-phase bridge rectifier from the GBPC 12 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 utilizes a GBPC-W package with wire leads and features a glass-passivated junction design. The device supports a non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 300 A over an 8.3 ms half-sine-wave pulse. Electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.1 V at 6.0 A and a maximum reverse current of 5.0 μA at 25°C. Thermal resistance from junction to case is 1.5°C/W with a heatsink, and the operating junction temperature range spans from -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrally molded heat sink provides very low thermal resistance for maximum heat dissipation.
• Surge overload ratings support up to 400 A depending on the specific series variant.
• Provides isolated voltage from case to lead exceeding 2500 V.
• Terminals are silver-plated and solderable per MIL-STD-202, Method 208.

Applications

• General-purpose AC to DC power supply conversion.
• Industrial motor drive rectification circuits.
• Battery charging systems requiring high surge tolerance.

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact part number against the manufacturer's official ordering information table to confirm availability status. Some devices within this family may be discontinued or not recommended for new designs; consult the latest datasheet revision for current production status before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select the GBPC1210W when a 1000 V reverse voltage rating and 12 A continuous current capacity are required in a wire-lead configuration. Ensure the application allows for adequate heatsinking to maintain the junction-to-case thermal resistance at 1.5°C/W. Verify that the surge current requirements do not exceed the 300 A limit specified for the GBPC12 series.

Part Context

This component 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 and current ratings from 12 A to 35 A. The GBPC1210W specifically represents the 12 A current class with a 1000 V blocking capability, packaged in the standard GBPC form factor with wire leads.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same series include GBPC1208 (800 V) and GBPC1206 (600 V) if lower voltage ratings are acceptable. For higher current requirements, consider the GBPC1510W (15 A) or GBPC2510W (25 A), ensuring the PCB layout accommodates the identical GBPC-W package dimensions.
