GBPC3501-BP

Overview

The GBPC3501-BP is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It features a 35 A average forward rectified current rating and a 100 V repetitive peak reverse voltage. The device utilizes glass passivated junction technology for enhanced reliability. Electrical characteristics include a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 400 A at 60 Hz half-sine wave. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C. It is housed in the GBPC plastic package with solder pin termination, designed for through-hole mounting applications.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated junction construction provides high reliability and resistance to environmental stress.

Applications

• AC-DC power supply circuits
• Battery charging systems
• General-purpose rectification in industrial equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version before procurement, as MCC product specifications may undergo revisions. Confirm that the GBPC package dimensions and pinout match the target PCB footprint requirements. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if required by the end application. Check for any recent production status changes or obsolescence notices directly from the manufacturer.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 35 A current capacity and 100 V blocking voltage are required in a standard bridge configuration. The GBPC package offers a balance of current handling and board space efficiency compared to larger screw-mount alternatives. Consider the thermal management requirements associated with the 1.1 V forward voltage drop at rated current during circuit design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBPC series of single-phase bridge rectifiers from Micro Commercial Components. The series covers various voltage ratings while maintaining the 35 A current capability. The GBPC3501-BP specifically denotes the 100 V variant within this lineup, utilizing the standardized GBPC housing format common across the family.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 35 A current, 100 V voltage, and GBPC package form factor. Verify equivalent electrical parameters such as forward voltage and leakage current. Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering identical pinouts and mechanical dimensions to ensure interchangeability without PCB redesign.
