GBPC2504T

Overview

The GeneSiC Semiconductor GBPC2504T is a single-phase glass-passivated silicon bridge rectifier designed for high-reliability power conversion applications. It features an integrally molded heatsink within the GBPC-T package to facilitate efficient thermal dissipation. The device supports a maximum average forward rectified current of 25 A and withstands a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 400 V. It exhibits a peak forward surge current capability of 300 A under standard half-sine wave conditions. The component operates reliably across a wide temperature range, with junction and storage temperatures spanning from -55 °C to +150 °C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated die construction ensures stable electrical characteristics and long-term reliability.
• Integrally molded heatsink provides low thermal resistance for effective heat dissipation.
• Universal three-way terminal design allows snap-on, wire-around, or PCB mounting options.

Applications

• General purpose AC to DC power supply rectification
• Battery charging circuits in industrial equipment
• Inverter input stages for motor drives

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix corresponds to the GBPC-T package variant rather than the W variant, as terminal configurations differ between faston lugs and copper leads. Confirm compliance requirements such as RoHS status directly with the manufacturer documentation before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 25 A continuous current rating and 400 V blocking voltage are required in a compact flange-mountable form factor. Ensure the application environment does not exceed the 150 °C maximum junction temperature limit. Consider the 300 A surge rating for systems with significant inrush currents during startup phases.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBPC25 series of single-phase bridge rectifiers manufactured by GeneSiC Semiconductor. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 1000 V, all sharing the same 25 A current capacity and mechanical footprint. The GBPC2504T specifically addresses mid-range voltage applications requiring robust surge handling capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the GBPC2504W which utilizes the GBPC-W package with different terminal styles. Other manufacturers offering equivalent 25 A / 400 V GBPC-style rectifiers may require verification of thermal resistance and mounting torque specifications to ensure mechanical compatibility.
