GBPC2504-G

Overview

The GBPC2504-G is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Comchip Technology. It utilizes silicon epitaxial planar technology with glass passivation for the die construction. The device provides a maximum average forward output rectified current of 25 A and supports peak repetitive reverse voltages up to 400 V. It features an integrally molded heatsink within its plastic housing to ensure low thermal resistance and efficient heat dissipation. The component is designed for high surge current capability and includes UL flammability recognition (94V-0) for the plastic material used in its encapsulation.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated die construction ensures stable electrical characteristics and reliability under varying conditions.
• Integrally molded heatsink design facilitates effective thermal management and minimizes thermal resistance.
• High surge current capability allows the device to withstand transient load spikes without failure.
• Plastic encapsulation carries UL flammability recognition rated at 94V-0 for safety compliance.

Applications

• General purpose AC to DC conversion in power supplies
• Battery charging circuits requiring robust rectification
• DC power outputs for industrial control systems

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required voltage and current ratings for your circuit design. Confirm RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your manufacturing process. Ensure the supplier provides official datasheets to validate the glass passivation and thermal specifications before integration into production.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 25 A continuous current rating and 400 V reverse voltage are required in a compact form factor. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics provided in the datasheet to determine if additional external cooling is necessary for your specific ambient temperature conditions. Verify that the mounting style aligns with your PCB or chassis design requirements.
