GBPC2504M

Overview

The GBPC2504M is a single-phase standard bridge rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It features an average forward rectified current (If) of 25 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (Vrrm) of 400 V. The device utilizes silicon technology with a typical forward voltage drop (Vf) of 1.1 V at 12.5 A and a maximum reverse leakage current (Ir) of 5 µA at 1000 V. It supports a maximum surge current of 300 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. The component is housed in the GBPC-M-4 package, designed for screw mount installation with solder pin termination.

Feature Summary

• Integrally molded heatsink design provides very low thermal resistance for maximum heat dissipation.
• Glass passivated die construction ensures stable performance under high-temperature conditions.
• High surge current capability allows reliable operation during transient load events.

Applications

• AC-to-DC power supply circuits requiring 25A rectification.
• Battery charging systems operating at 400V reverse voltage ratings.
• Industrial motor control interfaces utilizing standard bridge configurations.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'M' against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm package dimensions and terminal type compatibility. Ensure the procurement source provides official RoHS and REACH compliance documentation. Cross-reference the part number with the manufacturer's obsolescence notices to confirm active production status before finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 25A continuous current rating and 400V blocking voltage are required in a screw-mountable form factor. Compare the GBPC-M package thermal characteristics against alternative packages like GBPC-W if board space constraints exist. Verify that the system's peak inverse voltage does not exceed the 400V limit under all operating transients.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBPC25 series of single-phase bridge rectifiers from Taiwan Semiconductor. It shares the same physical footprint and electrical architecture as other variants in the series, differing primarily in reverse voltage ratings such as 200V, 800V, or 1000V. The GBPC2504M specifically targets applications needing moderate voltage isolation with high current capacity.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include the GBPC2504 from onsemi, which uses QC terminals instead of screw mounts, requiring mechanical adaptation. Vishay's VS-GBPC2504A offers similar electrical specs but utilizes quick connect terminals. Ensure any substitute matches the 25A current rating and 400V reverse voltage while verifying terminal interface compatibility.
