GBPC25005/1

Overview

The GBPC25005/1 is a single-phase silicon bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It provides an average forward rectified current of 25 A and supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 50 V. The device features a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current rating of 300 A at a specified half-sine wave duration. Electrical characteristics include a maximum DC forward voltage drop of 1.2 V at rated current and a maximum DC reverse leakage current of 5 µA at the rated peak reverse voltage. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C and utilizes a screw-mount installation style.

Feature Summary

• High surge overload capability with ratings up to 300 Amperes for transient protection
• Plastic encapsulation material meets Underwriters Laboratory Flammability Classification 94V-O
• Designed for high-current applications utilizing a metal heat sink base for thermal management

Applications

• AC to DC power supply circuits requiring 25 A output
• Battery charging systems operating at low voltage levels

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm exact electrical tolerances and compliance markings. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required voltage and current specifications for the target application circuit design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 50 V blocking voltage and 25 A continuous current capacity are required in a standard GBPC package. Confirm that the system's thermal environment allows for proper heat sinking, as the device relies on external mounting surfaces for thermal dissipation during operation.

Part Context

This component belongs to the GBPC25 series of high-current silicon bridge rectifiers from Vishay. The series offers various voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 800 V while maintaining a consistent 25 A current handling capability across all variants in the family.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering equivalent GBPC-25 packages. Verify that substitute parts match the 25 A current, 50 V voltage, and 1.2 V forward voltage drop specifications to ensure circuit compatibility.
