GBPC1502W

Overview

The onsemi GBPC1502W is a single-phase bridge rectifier from the GBPC 15 series, designed for high-current applications. It features an average rectified forward current (IF(AV)) of 15 A at a case temperature of 55°C and supports a maximum repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM) of 200 V. The device handles a non-repetitive peak forward surge current (IFSM) of 300 A over an 8.3 ms half-sine-wave pulse. Electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage drop (VF) of 1.1 V at 7.5 A and a maximum reverse current (IR) of 5.0 µA at 25°C. Thermal performance is defined by a power dissipation rating of 83.3 W and a junction-to-case thermal resistance of 1.5 °C/W with a heatsink. The component operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrally molded heat sink provides very low thermal resistance for maximum heat dissipation.
• Glass passivated die construction ensures low reverse leakage current and high efficiency.
• Terminals feature silver finish material suitable for wire lead structures in the GBPC-W package.
• Electrically isolated metal base offers case-to-lead isolation voltage exceeding 2500 V.

Applications

• Power supply circuits requiring single-phase rectification.
• Battery charging systems utilizing glass passivated bridge rectifiers.
• Industrial equipment operating within standard ambient temperature ranges.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm terminal configuration. The 'W' suffix indicates a wire lead structure distinct from standard pin types. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for any discontinuation notices regarding this specific part number before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select the GBPC1502W when a 15 A continuous current rating and 200 V blocking voltage are required. Ensure the application allows for adequate heatsinking to manage the 83.3 W power dissipation. Verify that the circuit design accommodates the 300 A surge capability and that the operating environment stays within the specified -55°C to +150°C junction temperature limits.

Part Context

This component belongs to the GBPC 12, 15, 25, and 35 series of bridge rectifiers manufactured by onsemi. The series utilizes glass passivation technology and offers various voltage ratings from 50 V to 1000 V across different current capacities. The GBPC1502W specifically represents the 15 A variant with a 200 V rating in the wire-lead package format.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering GBPC1502 equivalents. Verify that substitute parts match the 15 A current, 200 V voltage, and GBPC-W package dimensions. Ensure thermal resistance and surge current ratings meet or exceed original specifications.
