GBPC2508-E4/1

Overview

The GBPC2508-E4/1 is a glass passivated single-phase bridge rectifier from the Vishay GBPC25 series. It features a maximum average forward rectified output current of 25 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 800 V. The device has a typical instantaneous forward drop of 1.1 V at 12.5 A and a maximum reverse DC current of 5 μA at rated blocking voltage. It supports a peak forward surge current of 300 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivation provides mechanical strength and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating
• Universal 3-way terminals allow snap-on, wire wrap-around, or PCB mounting
• High surge current capability with low thermal resistance for efficient heat transfer

Applications

• AC/DC bridge full wave rectification for power supplies
• Home appliances and office equipment
• Industrial automation applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm terminal type and packaging configuration. The E4 suffix indicates consumer grade compliance with RoHS directives. Confirm package dimensions and mounting torque requirements match the target design constraints before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an 800 V reverse voltage rating and 25 A continuous current are required in a standard GBPC package. Ensure the application accounts for the 1.1 V forward voltage drop and 5 μA leakage current specifications. Verify that the operating ambient temperature remains within the specified -55 °C to +150 °C junction range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay GBPC25 series of single-phase bridge rectifiers. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings (50 V to 1000 V) and current ratings (12 A to 35 A). All share the same GBPC case style and general electrical characteristics, differing primarily in peak reverse voltage and surge current capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other GBPC25 series parts with matching 800 V ratings, such as GBPC2508W-E4/51. Ensure replacement parts maintain identical terminal configurations and thermal resistance values to fit existing mounting structures without modification.
