GBPC2510

Overview

The onsemi GBPC2510 is a single-phase glass-passivated bridge rectifier from the GBPC series, rated for a maximum repetitive reverse voltage of 1000 V and an average rectified forward current of 25 A at a case temperature of 55°C. It features a non-repetitive peak forward surge current capability of 300 A over an 8.3 ms half-sine wave pulse. The device utilizes a GBPC package with a junction-to-case thermal resistance of 1.5°C/W and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrally molded heat sink provides very low thermal resistance for maximum heat dissipation
• Glass passivation ensures stable electrical characteristics and reliability
• Isolated voltage from case to lead exceeds 2500 V for enhanced safety

Applications

• Power supply units requiring high reliability
• AC-DC conversion circuits in industrial equipment
• Battery charging systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix (e.g., standard or wire lead) against the official onsemi datasheet to ensure correct terminal configuration. Confirm that the component is sourced as a Pb-Free device compliant with current environmental standards. Check for any discontinuation notices regarding this specific part number before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select the GBPC2510 when a 1000 V reverse voltage rating and 25 A continuous forward current are required. Ensure the application allows for adequate heatsinking to maintain the case temperature at or below 55°C for full current rating. Consider the 300 A surge rating for transient protection requirements in the circuit design.

Part Context

This component belongs to the GBPC 12, 15, 25, and 35 series of bridge rectifiers manufactured by onsemi. The series shares common mechanical dimensions and thermal characteristics, differing primarily in current ratings and voltage capabilities. The GBPC2510 specifically occupies the 25 A current tier within this standardized family.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other manufacturers' GBPC2510 equivalents such as those from Diodes Incorporated or General Semiconductor, provided they match the 1000 V/25 A specifications and GBPC package outline.
