GBPC1510

Overview

The onsemi GBPC1510 is a single-phase bridge rectifier from the GBPC series, rated for a maximum repetitive reverse voltage of 1000 V and an average rectified forward current of 15 A at a case temperature of 55°C. It features a non-repetitive peak forward surge current capability of 300 A over an 8.3 ms half-sine wave pulse. The device utilizes a GBPC package with four pins and operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. Electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.1 V at 7.5 A and a maximum reverse current of 5.0 μA at 25°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrally molded heat sink provides very low thermal resistance for effective heat dissipation.
• Offers high surge overload ratings up to 300 A for robust transient handling.
• Provides isolated voltage from the case to the lead exceeding 2500 V.

Applications

• AC to DC power supply input stages
• General-purpose rectification in industrial equipment
• Battery charging circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm the terminal finish and package type. The standard GBPC package uses nickel terminals, while the GBPC-W variant features wire leads with silver plating. Confirm that the selected part number matches the required mechanical mounting style and electrical specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component based on the required reverse voltage rating and continuous forward current needs relative to the thermal environment. Ensure the application accounts for the derating curve provided in the datasheet when operating above a case temperature of 55°C. Verify that the surge current requirements do not exceed the specified 300 A limit for the intended circuit conditions.

Part Context

This component belongs to the GBPC 12, 15, 25, and 35 series of glass-passivated bridge rectifiers manufactured by onsemi. The series offers various current and voltage combinations within a standardized plastic encapsulated module. These devices are designed for general-purpose applications requiring reliable rectification in compact spaces.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include other GBPC15 variants with different voltage ratings, such as GBPC1506 or GBPC1508. Cross-manufacturer equivalents must match the 15 A current rating, 1000 V reverse voltage, and GBPC package dimensions to ensure physical compatibility.
