GBPC2501W

Overview

The onsemi GBPC2501W is a single-phase bridge rectifier from the GBPC25 series, rated for a maximum repetitive reverse voltage of 100 V. It features an average rectified forward current of 25 A at a case temperature of 55°C and supports a non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 300 A. The device utilizes a wire lead structure (suffix W) with silver-plated terminals suitable for soldering per MIL-STD-208. Electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.1 V at 12.5 A and a maximum reverse current of 5 µA at 25°C. Thermal resistance from junction to case is 1.5°C/W with a heatsink.

Feature Summary

• Integrally molded heat sink provides very low thermal resistance for maximum heat dissipation.
• Glass passivated die construction ensures low reverse leakage current and high efficiency.
• Electrically isolated metal base offers case-to-terminal isolation voltage exceeding 2500 V.
• UL certified under file number E258596 for recognized component safety standards.

Applications

• Power supply circuits requiring single-phase rectification
• Battery charging systems
• DC power conversion modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'W' corresponds to the wire lead configuration rather than standard screw mount variants. Confirm that the package marking matches the part number exactly as listed in the official datasheet table. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives as these are Pb-Free devices. Check for any discontinuation notices regarding this specific variant before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 100 V reverse voltage rating is required alongside a 25 A continuous current capacity. The wire lead option is appropriate for applications where through-hole wiring is preferred over screw terminal mounting. Consider the thermal resistance specifications if operating near the maximum temperature limits or without adequate external cooling.

Part Context

This component belongs to the GBPC 12, 15, 25, and 35 series of glass passivated bridge rectifiers manufactured by onsemi. The GBPC25 designation indicates the 25 Ampere current class within this family. The 'W' suffix specifically denotes the wire lead package variation, distinguishing it from the standard screw-mount GBPC packages.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 100 V reverse voltage and 25 A current ratings. Verify that alternative components support the same wire lead termination style if PCB layout constraints exist. Cross-reference thermal resistance values to ensure equivalent heat dissipation capabilities in the target application environment.

FAQ
