GBPC2510W-E4/51

Overview

The GBPC2510W-E4/51 is a glass-passivated single-phase bridge rectifier from the Vishay GBPC25 series. It provides a maximum average forward rectified output current of 25 A and a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 1000 V. The component features a typical instantaneous forward drop of 1.1 V at 12.5 A and a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 300 A. Operating junction temperature ranges from -55 °C to +150 °C, with a typical thermal resistance of 1.9 °C/W. The suffix 'W' indicates wire leads instead of standard snap-on terminals.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivation for reliable operation under various environmental conditions
• Universal terminal design supporting snap-on, wire wrap-around, or PCB mounting configurations
• High surge current capability designed to withstand transient electrical loads
• Low thermal resistance to facilitate efficient heat dissipation in power supply applications

Applications

• General purpose AC/DC bridge full wave rectification
• Power supply circuits
• Home appliances
• Office equipment
• Industrial automation systems

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number includes the 'W' suffix to confirm the presence of wire leads rather than standard faston lugs. Ensure the ordering code matches the E4 designation for RoHS compliance. Confirm the package type aligns with the intended circuit board layout or wiring harness requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1000 V rating and 25 A continuous current capacity are required. The GBPC-W variant is suitable for applications where wire termination is preferred over screw or snap-on mounting. Evaluate the thermal management strategy based on the 1.9 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance to ensure the operating temperature remains within the specified limits during peak load conditions.

Part Context

This device belongs to the Vishay GBPC25 family of high-current bridge rectifiers. It shares the same physical dimensions and general electrical characteristics as other variants in the series, differing primarily in voltage ratings and terminal configurations. The GBPC25 series is widely used in industrial and commercial power conversion modules requiring robust performance.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other GBPC25 series parts with matching voltage ratings, such as GBPC2508-E4/51 (800 V) or GBPC2506-E4/51 (600 V), provided the system voltage does not exceed their ratings. Verify that alternative components maintain the same 25 A current capacity and compatible mounting footprint.
