GBPC2506M

Overview

The GBPC2506M is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation, belonging to the GBPC25 series. It features a peak repetitive reverse voltage (Vrrm) of 600 V and an average forward rectified current (Io) of 25 A. The device supports a peak non-repetitive surge current (Ifsm) of 300 A with a maximum forward voltage drop (Vf) of 1.1 V at 12.5 A. Reverse leakage current is specified as 5 µA at 1000 V. It utilizes a GBPC-M flange mount package with four pins and operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C.

Feature Summary

• Standard silicon bridge rectifier configuration for general-purpose applications
• Flange mount installation type designed for efficient thermal dissipation
• Glass passivated die construction providing high reliability and stability

Applications

• AC-DC power supply circuits requiring 600V isolation
• Industrial motor drive rectification stages
• Battery charging systems operating at 25A continuous load

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation, as the GBPC2506M part number is primarily associated with Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation in official documentation. Confirm that the component matches the GBPC-M package outline and electrical specifications before integration. Ensure the ordering suffix corresponds to the correct packaging format required for the assembly process.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 600V rating and 25A continuous current capacity are required in a compact flange-mount package. Compare the 1.1V forward voltage drop against system efficiency targets. Verify that the 300A surge capability meets the inrush current requirements of the target circuit design without exceeding thermal limits.

Part Context

This component belongs to the GBPC25 series of single-phase bridge rectifiers. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings, such as the GBPC2506 (600V), GBPC2510 (1000V), and GBPC2508 (800V). All share the same 25A current rating and GBPC-M physical footprint, allowing for pin-compatible design flexibility across different voltage requirements.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with GBPC2506 from onsemi or Vishay for identical electrical performance. Check GBPC2506W/51 from Vishay if a slightly different package variant is acceptable. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values before substituting.
