GBPC25005W

Overview

The onsemi GBPC25005W is a discontinued single-phase bridge rectifier from the GBPC25 series. It features a maximum repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM) of 50 V and an average rectified forward current (IF(AV)) of 25 A at a case temperature of 55°C. The device supports a non-repetitive peak forward surge current (IFSM) 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 12.5 A and a maximum reverse current (IR) of 5.0 µA at 25°C. Thermal performance specifies a junction-to-case thermal resistance (RθJC) of 1.5 °C/W with a heatsink, and power dissipation of 83.3 W. The component utilizes a wire lead structure in a GBPC-W package.

Feature Summary

• Integrally molded heat sink provides very low thermal resistance for maximum heat dissipation.
• Surge overload ratings support up to 300 A for the GBPC25 series.
• Provides isolated voltage from case to lead exceeding 2500 V.
• Terminals are silver-plated, ensuring solderability per MIL-STD-202 Method 208.

Applications

• General purpose AC to DC conversion circuits
• Power supply designs requiring high surge current capability
• Industrial equipment utilizing screw or wire lead mounting

Procurement Notes

Verify availability status carefully as this specific part number is officially listed as discontinued by onsemi and is not recommended for new designs. Contact local sales representatives for current stock information or potential obsolescence management options. Ensure that any replacement components meet the required electrical specifications and physical dimensions for your application.

Selection Notes

Select this component only if the 50 V reverse voltage rating and 25 A continuous current capacity align with circuit requirements. Consider the GBPC-W package type for through-hole wire lead implementation. Evaluate thermal management needs given the 83.3 W power dissipation rating. Review alternative parts within the GBPC25 series if higher voltage ratings are needed.

Part Context
