GBPC25010T

Overview

The GeneSiC Semiconductor GBPC25010T is a single-phase glass-passivated silicon bridge rectifier rated for a maximum average forward rectified current of 25.0 A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1000 V. It features an integrally molded heat sink with a typical thermal resistance of 1.9 °C/W and operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C. The device supports a peak forward surge current of 300 A, has a maximum instantaneous forward voltage drop of 1.1 V per leg at 12.5 A, and provides 2500 V RMS isolation from the case to the leads.

Feature Summary

• Integrally molded heat sink design for efficient thermal dissipation
• Glass passivated die construction for high reliability
• Universal terminal configuration supporting snap-on, wire-around, or PCB mounting

Applications

• General purpose AC to DC power supply circuits
• Battery charging systems
• Industrial motor control applications

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required terminal type, as the datasheet distinguishes between faston lugs and copper leads. Confirm compliance with RoHS directives and UL flammability ratings before integration. Ensure proper mounting torque does not exceed 20 inch-lbs to prevent mechanical damage during installation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 25 A continuous current rating and 1000 V blocking voltage are required in a compact form factor. The low thermal resistance makes it suitable for applications requiring robust heat dissipation without external heatsinks. Verify that the operating environment stays within the specified -55°C to 150°C junction temperature limits.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBPC25 series of single-phase bridge rectifiers, which includes variants with different voltage ratings such as 600 V and 800 V. The 'T' suffix indicates a specific terminal configuration, distinct from the 'W' variant. All members share the same 25 A current rating and physical package dimensions.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other manufacturers' GBPC2510 models with identical electrical characteristics. Ensure replacement parts maintain the same terminal style and mounting requirements to fit existing board layouts and assembly processes.
