GBPC2504W-E4/51

Overview

The GBPC2504W-E4/51 is a glass-passivated single-phase bridge rectifier from Vishay General Semiconductor. It provides a maximum average forward rectified output current of 25 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 400 V. The device features a peak forward surge current capability of 300 A and a typical junction capacitance of 160 pF per diode. Operating within a temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C, it utilizes the GBPC-W package with wire leads for through-hole mounting.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivation protects junctions against mechanical stress
• Universal terminal design supports snap-on, wire wrap-around, or PCB mounting
• High surge current capability handles transient loads
• Low thermal resistance facilitates efficient heat dissipation

Applications

• AC/DC bridge full wave rectification in power supplies
• Home appliances requiring general purpose rectification
• Office equipment power circuits
• Industrial automation applications

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity by checking the manufacturer's marking and datasheet revision number. Confirm compliance with RoHS directives via the E4 suffix. Ensure the W suffix indicates wire leads rather than faston lugs. Validate electrical parameters against specific application requirements before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 25 A continuous current rating and 400 V reverse voltage are required. The GBPC-W package suits applications needing wire lead termination. Consider the 300 A surge rating for capacitive load scenarios. Verify thermal management needs based on the 1.9 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBPC25 series, which includes variants with different voltage ratings such as 50 V, 100 V, 200 V, 600 V, 800 V, and 1000 V. All series members share the same 25 A current rating and similar physical dimensions. The GBPC2504W-E4/51 specifically denotes the 400 V variant within this family.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other GBPC25 series parts with identical current ratings but different voltage ratings if system constraints allow. Cross-brand replacements must match the 25 A IF(AV), 400 V VRRM, and GBPC-W package dimensions. Verify terminal compatibility and thermal characteristics before substitution.
