GBPC2510T

Overview

The GeneSiC Semiconductor GBPC2510T is a single-phase glass-passivated silicon bridge rectifier designed for high-temperature applications. It features an average forward rectified current (IO) of 25 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 1000 V. The device supports a peak forward surge current (IFSM) of 300 A under standard test conditions. Electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage drop (VF) of 1.1 V at 12.5 A and a typical junction capacitance (Cj) of 300 pF. Thermal performance is defined by a thermal resistance (RΘJC) of 1.9 °C/W, with an operating temperature range from -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrally molded heat sink provides low thermal resistance for maximum heat dissipation
• Universal 3-way terminals allow snap-on, wire-around, or P.C board mounting
• High temperature soldering guaranteed at 260°C for 10 seconds

Applications

• Bolt-down mounting on heat-sinks using silicone thermal compound
• Snap-on terminal connections for power circuits
• Wire-around terminal configurations for general rectification

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific terminal configuration required, as the datasheet distinguishes between the GBPC-T package with Faston lugs and the GBPC-W package with copper leads. Confirm that the 1000 V rating aligns with the circuit requirements, noting that lower voltage variants exist within the same series. Ensure mounting torque does not exceed the specified maximum limit during installation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 25 A continuous current rating and 1000 V blocking voltage are necessary. The GBPC-T variant is suitable for applications requiring faston lug terminals, while the GBPC-W variant offers copper leads for different connection methods. Consider the 1.9 °C/W thermal resistance for heatsink design calculations to maintain junction temperatures within the specified -55°C to +150°C range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBPC2506T/W through GBPC2510T/W series of single-phase glass-passivated silicon bridge rectifiers. The series shares common mechanical and electrical characteristics, differing primarily in their maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage ratings. The GBPC2510T represents the highest voltage option in this specific lineup, offering 1000 V capability alongside the standard 25 A current rating.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers' GBPC2510 equivalents. Verify terminal type compatibility, as the T suffix indicates Faston lugs while W indicates copper leads. Ensure replacement parts meet the same 1.9 °C/W thermal resistance and 1000 V VRRM specifications.
