GBPC3501/1

Overview

The GBPC3501/1 is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features an average forward rectified current of 35 A and a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 100 V. The device utilizes a plastic GBPC package with four pins for through-hole mounting. Key electrical parameters include a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 400 A, a peak forward voltage of 1.1 V, and a peak reverse current of 5 µA at 100 V. The operating junction temperature range spans from -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Single-phase bridge rectification configuration
• Through-hole mounting via screw terminals
• High thermal stability up to 150°C

Applications

• General-purpose power supply circuits
• AC to DC conversion stages
• Industrial control systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix designation against official Vishay documentation, as generic part numbers often require specific trailing characters for lead-free compliance or packaging variations. Confirm RoHS status and material declarations directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors to ensure regulatory compliance for your specific region and application requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 35 A continuous current rating and 100 V blocking voltage are required in a standard GBPC footprint. Ensure the PCB layout accommodates the physical dimensions of the GBPC package and provides adequate clearance for the screw terminal connections. Verify that the expected load current does not exceed the 35 A limit under worst-case thermal conditions.

Part Context

This component belongs to the GBPC series of single-phase bridge rectifiers, designed for high-current applications. The series typically offers various voltage ratings while maintaining consistent current handling capabilities. The GBPC package provides a robust mechanical structure suitable for industrial environments requiring reliable AC-to-DC conversion.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 35 A current rating, 100 V reverse voltage, and GBPC package type. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics before substitution.
