GBPC1508W/1

Overview

The GBPC1508W/1 is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features an average forward current of 15A and a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 800V. The device utilizes the GBPC-W package with four pins for through-hole mounting. Key electrical parameters include a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 300A, a peak forward voltage of 1.1V, and a peak reverse current of 500μA. The operating temperature range spans from -55°C to +150°C. Physical dimensions are approximately 29mm in length and 11.23mm in height.

Feature Summary

• High voltage capability suitable for demanding power conversion applications
• Robust thermal performance with high junction temperature rating
• Compact through-hole packaging for space-constrained designs

Applications

• Battery chargers
• Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) systems
• General-purpose AC-DC power supplies

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix /1 against official datasheets to confirm if it denotes a specific tape-and-reel variant or standard bag packaging, as suffixes can indicate handling differences without changing electrical function. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to ensure authenticity and traceability. Confirm lead times and minimum order quantities directly with suppliers prior to ordering.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 15A continuous current rating and 800V blocking voltage are required in a standard GBPC form factor. Ensure the application environment stays within the specified -55°C to +150°C operating range. Consider the 1.1V forward voltage drop for thermal management calculations in high-current scenarios. Verify that the PCB footprint matches the GBPC-W package dimensions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBPC series of bridge rectifiers, widely used in industrial and consumer electronics. The 'W' suffix typically indicates a specific packaging style, often associated with wider body dimensions or specific reel configurations compared to standard GBPC variants. The '/1' suffix may denote a specific packing quantity or reel type defined by Vishay.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include the GBPC1508 and GBPC1508-E4/51 from Vishay, which share identical electrical specifications. Other manufacturers offering equivalent 15A/800V GBPC packages should be evaluated for pin compatibility and thermal characteristics.
