GBPC2510W(UM)E4/51

Overview

The GBPC2510W(UM)E4/51 is a glass-passivated single-phase bridge rectifier from the Vishay GBPC25 series. It features a 25 A maximum average forward rectified output current and a 1000 V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage. The device provides a 300 A peak forward surge current capability and maintains a typical junction capacitance of 160 pF per diode at 4 V, 1 MHz. Operating within a temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C, it utilizes a GBPC-W package with wire leads for snap-on, wire wrap-around, or PCB mounting.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivation ensures stable electrical characteristics and long-term reliability under varying thermal conditions.
• Universal terminal design supports flexible installation via snap-on connectors, wire wrapping, or direct PCB mounting.
• High surge current capacity allows robust performance during transient load events without compromising component integrity.

Applications

• General purpose AC/DC full-wave bridge rectification in power supply circuits
• Rectification modules for home appliances and consumer electronics
• Power conversion stages in office equipment and industrial automation systems

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required lead configuration and packaging format. Confirm RoHS compliance status and UL recognition file number E54214 are explicitly stated on the final purchase documentation. Ensure the datasheet revision aligns with the manufacturing batch date code to guarantee accurate thermal and electrical specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 25 A continuous current rating and 1000 V blocking voltage are required in a compact form factor. The GBPC-W variant is appropriate for applications necessitating wire leads rather than faston lugs. Evaluate the 1.9 °C/W thermal resistance against the expected ambient temperature and heatsinking constraints to ensure junction temperatures remain within the specified 150 °C limit.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay GBPC25 family of high-current bridge rectifiers, which also includes variants rated for 12 A, 15 A, and 35 A. The GBPC25 series shares common mechanical dimensions and mounting hole patterns, facilitating interchangeability within designs requiring different current or voltage ratings while maintaining consistent board layout requirements.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other GBPC25 series parts such as GBPC2506-E4/51 for lower voltage requirements. Verify that substitute components maintain identical pinout configurations and mounting torque specifications of 20 inches-lbs max to ensure mechanical compatibility.
