GBPC3502W-E4/51

Overview

The GBPC3502W-E4/51 is a glass-passivated single-phase bridge rectifier from the Vishay GBPC35 series. It features a 200 V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) and supports a 35 A average forward rectified output current (IF(AV)). The component provides a peak forward surge current capability of 400 A and exhibits a maximum instantaneous forward drop of 1.1 V at 17.5 A. Operating within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C, it utilizes a GBPC-W package with wire leads for mounting.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivation protects junctions against industrial environments
• Universal terminal options include snap-on, wire wrap-around, or PCB mounting
• High surge current capability for robust transient handling
• Low thermal resistance for efficient heat dissipation

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify that the suffix 'W' corresponds to the specific wire lead configuration required for your assembly process. Confirm compliance with RoHS standards via the E4 designation. Ensure mechanical torque limits are respected during installation to maintain reliable electrical connections and prevent physical damage to the plastic housing.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 200 V blocking voltage and 35 A continuous current rating are necessary. The GBPC-W package is suitable for through-hole implementations utilizing wire leads rather than faston lugs. Evaluate thermal management requirements based on the 1.4 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance characteristic under rated load conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay GBPC35 family of high-current bridge rectifiers. The series offers various voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 1000 V while maintaining a consistent 35 A current capacity. The GBPC3502 variant specifically addresses applications requiring 200 V isolation, fitting into the broader lineup alongside 50 V, 100 V, 400 V, 600 V, 800 V, and 1000 V models.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other GBPC35 series variants such as GBPC3504-E4/51 or GBPC3506-E4/51 if higher voltage ratings are acceptable. Verify pinout compatibility and physical dimensions before substituting components from different manufacturers.
