GBPC2510W

Overview

The onsemi GBPC2510W is a single-phase bridge rectifier from the GBPC25 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 wire lead structure (suffix W) with silver-plated terminals suitable for soldering per MIL-STD-208. The device provides a non-repetitive peak forward surge current capability of 300 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. Electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.1 V at 12.5 A and a maximum reverse current of 5 µA at 25°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrally molded heat sink design providing very low thermal resistance for efficient heat dissipation.
• Offers isolated voltage from the case to the leads exceeding 2500 V for enhanced safety.
• Features UL certification (UL #E258596) and utilizes a wire lead structure with silver finish.

Applications

• Power supply circuits requiring high-voltage rectification.
• Industrial equipment utilizing resistive or inductive loads.
• Applications necessitating robust surge overload ratings up to 300 A.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'W' indicates the wire lead configuration rather than standard pin mounting. Confirm that the package type matches the required PCB layout for through-hole wire termination. Ensure compliance with the specified mounting torque limits and check for any discontinued status updates directly from the manufacturer before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1000 V rating and 25 A continuous current are required in a wire-lead package. Compare thermal resistance values against available heatsinking options to ensure adequate cooling. Verify that the 300 A surge current rating meets the transient requirements of the target circuit application without exceeding absolute maximum ratings.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBPC 12, 15, 25, and 35 series of glass-passivated bridge rectifiers manufactured by onsemi. The GBPC2510W specifically denotes the 25 A current class within the 1000 V voltage variant of the GBPC-W package family. It shares common thermal and electrical characteristics with other members of the series while differing primarily in current handling capacity and voltage rating.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other GBPC2510 variants from different manufacturers such as Vishay VS-GBPC2510A, provided the package dimensions and terminal types are compatible. Verify that alternative components meet the same 1000 V reverse voltage and 25 A forward current specifications.
