GBPC1506W

Overview

The onsemi GBPC1506W is a single-phase bridge rectifier from the GBPC 12, 15, 25, 35 series. It features an average forward current (IF(AV)) of 15 A at a case temperature of 55°C and a maximum repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM) of 600 V. The device has a non-repetitive peak forward surge current (IFSM) rating of 300 A for an 8.3 ms half-sine wave. 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 µA at 25°C. Thermal resistance from junction to case is 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.
• Surge overload ratings support high transient currents up to 300 A.
• Provides isolated voltage from case to lead exceeding 2500 V.
• Features UL certification under file number E258596.

Applications

• Power supply circuits requiring single-phase rectification.
• General-purpose AC to DC conversion applications.
• Industrial equipment utilizing bridge rectifier configurations.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'W' corresponds to the wire lead structure variant when sourcing components. Confirm that the procurement documentation references the correct GBPC package type and lead finish specifications. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives as these are Pb-Free devices. Cross-reference the part number against the manufacturer's discontinuation list to confirm availability status before finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component based on the required 600 V reverse voltage rating and 15 A continuous current capacity. Evaluate the thermal management requirements, noting the 1.5 °C/W junction-to-case resistance necessitates appropriate heatsinking. Consider the 300 A surge capability for circuit protection design. Verify that the operating temperature range meets the environmental conditions of the intended application.

Part Context

This component belongs to the GBPC 12, 15, 25, 35 series of bridge rectifiers manufactured by onsemi. The series offers various current ratings and voltage options within a standardized plastic package with an integrally molded heatsink. The GBPC1506W specifically denotes the 15 A current class and 600 V voltage rating within this family.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same series include GBPC1504W and GBPC1508W, which share identical physical dimensions and mounting characteristics but differ in voltage ratings. Other series members like GBPC1206W or GBPC2506W offer different current capacities while maintaining the same package form factor.
