GBPC35005W-E4/51

Overview

The GBPC35005W-E4/51 is a glass-passivated single-phase bridge rectifier from the Vishay GBPC35 series. It features a 50 V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) and supports a maximum average forward rectified output current of 35 A. The component provides a peak forward surge current capability of 400 A for non-repetitive conditions lasting between 1 ms and 8.3 ms. Electrical characteristics include a typical instantaneous forward drop of 1.1 V at 17.5 A and a maximum reverse DC current of 5 μA at rated blocking voltage. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C and utilizes a GBPC-W package with wire leads.

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 conditions
• Low thermal resistance facilitates efficient heat dissipation

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm terminal configuration. The 'W' suffix indicates the presence of wire leads rather than faston lugs. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 35 A continuous current rating and 50 V reverse voltage are required. Ensure the application environment remains within the specified -55 °C to +150 °C operating temperature range. Verify that the circuit design accounts for the 1.1 V forward voltage drop to manage power dissipation effectively.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay GBPC35 series of single-phase bridge rectifiers. The series offers various voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 1000 V while maintaining a consistent 35 A current capacity. The GBPC-W variant specifically denotes a package equipped with wire leads for flexible connection methods.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 35 A current rating, 50 V reverse voltage, and GBPC-W package style. Verify that alternative components maintain equivalent thermal resistance and surge current capabilities to ensure circuit compatibility.
