GBPC15005T

Overview

The GBPC15005T is a single-phase glass passivated silicon bridge rectifier from GeneSiC Semiconductor. It features an average forward rectified current (IO) of 15.0 A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 50 V. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. Key electrical parameters include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage drop of 1.1 V per leg, a peak forward surge current (IFSM) of 300 A, and a typical thermal resistance (RΘJC) of 1.9 °C/W. The component utilizes the GBPC-T package with nickel-plated 0.25-inch Faston lugs.

Feature Summary

• Integrally molded heat sink for efficient thermal dissipation
• Universal three-way terminal options including snap-on, wire-around, or PCB mounting
• Glass passivated chip junctions for improved stability
• High temperature soldering capability at 260°C for 10 seconds

Applications

• Power supply units requiring 15A rectification
• Adapters and chargers operating at low reverse voltages
• General purpose AC to DC conversion circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's documentation to confirm terminal configuration. The 'T' suffix indicates nickel-plated 0.25-inch Faston lugs, while 'W' denotes copper leads. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead-free availability directly with the supplier prior to procurement to ensure alignment with project environmental requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 15A continuous current rating and 50V blocking voltage are required in a compact bridge rectifier form factor. Ensure the application allows for bolt-down mounting on a heatsink using silicone thermal compound to maintain optimal thermal performance. Verify that the circuit load characteristics align with the specified surge current capabilities and derating curves for capacitive loads.

Part Context

This component belongs to the GBPC series of single-phase bridge rectifiers manufactured by GeneSiC Semiconductor. The series offers various voltage ratings ranging from 50V to 400V with consistent 15A current handling. The GBPC15005T specifically addresses low-voltage, high-current applications within this standardized package family.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 15A current rating, 50V reverse voltage, and GBPC-T package dimensions. Verify terminal type compatibility, as the T suffix specifies Faston lugs distinct from the W suffix leads. Cross-reference thermal resistance and forward voltage drop specifications to ensure equivalent circuit performance.
