GBPC35005-E4/51

Overview

The GBPC35005-E4/51 is a glass-passivated single-phase bridge rectifier from the Vishay GBPC35 series. It provides a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 50 V and supports a maximum average forward rectified output current (IF(AV)) of 35 A. The component features a peak forward surge current (IFSM) rating of 400 A for non-repetitive conditions lasting between 1 ms and 8.3 ms. Electrical characteristics include a typical junction capacitance of 160 pF per diode at 4 V and 1 MHz, with a maximum instantaneous forward drop of 1.1 V at an IF of 17.5 A. The device operates within a temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivation protects junctions against mechanical stress
• Universal mounting terminals support snap-on, wire wrap-around, or PCB installation
• High surge current capability accommodates transient load demands

Applications

• AC/DC bridge full wave rectification in power supplies
• Home appliances requiring general purpose rectification
• Office equipment power circuits
• Industrial automation applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm compliance status and terminal configuration. The E4 designation indicates RoHS compliance, while the /51 code specifies the paper box delivery mode. Ensure that the selected variant matches the required thermal resistance and package dimensions for the intended application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 35 A continuous current rating and 50 V blocking voltage are required. Verify that the operating junction temperature remains within the specified -55 °C to +150 °C range. Consider the 1.4 °C/W thermal resistance for heatsink calculations if forced air cooling is utilized. Confirm that the 400 A surge rating exceeds the expected inrush currents in the target circuit design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay GBPC35 series of single-phase bridge rectifiers. The series encompasses multiple voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 1000 V, all sharing the same 35 A current capacity and GBPC package outline. The GBPC35005 specifically denotes the 50 V variant within this standardized product family.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering identical GBPC packages and 35 A/50 A ratings. Verify pinout compatibility and physical dimensions before substitution. Ensure equivalent thermal resistance and surge current capabilities are maintained in alternative components.
