GBPC2501W-BP

Overview

The GBPC2501W-BP is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It features a 25 A average forward current rating and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V. The device utilizes glass passivated die construction for enhanced reliability. Electrical characteristics include a maximum RMS voltage of 70.7 V, a peak forward surge current capability of 300 A at 60 Hz, and a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 400 A. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C. It is housed in a GBPC-W through-hole package with solder pin termination.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated die construction ensures high reliability and low leakage current under reverse bias conditions.
• Electrically isolated metal base design facilitates efficient heat dissipation from the semiconductor junction.
• Surge overload rating supports high transient current loads up to 300 A peak without failure.

Applications

• AC-DC power supply circuits requiring high current rectification
• Battery charging systems for industrial equipment
• General-purpose DC power supplies

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'BP' against the manufacturer's datasheet to confirm compliance with RoHS and REACH directives. Confirm the package variant matches the required thermal and mechanical constraints for the target PCB layout. Check for any recent discontinuation notices or lifecycle status updates directly from MCC before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 100 V reverse voltage rating and 25 A continuous current capacity are required in a through-hole configuration. Ensure the application environment stays within the specified -55 °C to +150 °C operating temperature range. Verify that the PCB mounting torque does not exceed the maximum limit to prevent mechanical damage to the leads during assembly.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBPC25 series of bridge rectifiers from Micro Commercial Components. The series offers various voltage ratings while maintaining a consistent 25 A current handling capability. The GBPC2501W-BP specifically addresses applications needing 100 V blocking voltage. It shares the standard GBPC-W form factor with other variants in the family for interchangeability in housing design.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with GBPC2501W from Diodes Incorporated or Panjit International for equivalent electrical specifications. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values before substitution. Ensure the alternative component meets the same UL recognition file requirements if safety certification is mandatory for the end product.
