GBPC35005T

Overview

The GeneSiC Semiconductor GBPC35005T is a single-phase glass-passivated silicon bridge rectifier rated for a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 50 V and a maximum average forward rectified current of 35.0 A at an ambient temperature of 25 °C. The device features a peak forward surge current capability of 400 A and a typical junction capacitance of 300 pF. It operates within a temperature range of -55 °C to 150 °C, with a maximum instantaneous forward voltage drop of 1.1 V per leg. The component utilizes the GBPC-T package, which includes an integrally molded heat sink and universal 3-way terminals for snap-on, wire-around, or PCB mounting.

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 under specified tension

Applications

• General purpose AC to DC power supply conversion
• Battery charging circuits requiring high surge current capability
• Industrial equipment utilizing resistive or inductive loads

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required terminal configuration, as the datasheet distinguishes between GBPC-T (faston lugs or copper leads) and GBPC-W packages. Confirm compliance requirements such as RoHS status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors, as this information is not explicitly detailed in the provided technical specifications.

Selection Notes

Select the GBPC35005T when a 50 V blocking voltage is sufficient for the application, as higher voltage variants like the GBPC3501T are available within the same series. Ensure the design accommodates the 35 A continuous current rating and consider derating by 20% if the load is capacitive. Verify that the mounting torque does not exceed 20 inch-lbs to prevent mechanical damage to the encapsulation.

Part Context

This component belongs to the GBPC35005T/W through GBPC3504T/W series of single-phase bridge rectifiers manufactured by GeneSiC Semiconductor. The series shares common electrical characteristics and mechanical dimensions, differing primarily in their repetitive peak reverse voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 400 V. The GBPC-T variant specifically denotes the package style with defined terminal options.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the GBPC35005W, which shares identical electrical parameters but utilizes the GBPC-W package configuration. Other models within the same series, such as the GBPC3501T, offer higher voltage ratings but maintain the same current and thermal specifications.
