GBPC3504/1

Overview

The Vishay GBPC3504/1 is a single-phase bridge rectifier in the VS-GBPC series, rated for 400 V repetitive peak reverse voltage and 35 A average forward current. It utilizes a plastic GBPC package with screw mounting terminals. The device supports an operating temperature range from -55°C to +150°C. Key electrical parameters include a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 400 A and a peak forward voltage of 1.1 V at rated conditions.

Feature Summary

• High thermal stability with a maximum junction temperature rating of 150°C
• Robust mechanical design featuring isolated flange mount construction
• Compliant with UL flammability classification 94V-O standards

Applications

• Industrial power supply units requiring high current rectification
• DC motor drive systems
• Welding equipment power stages

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against official Vishay documentation to confirm exact electrical tolerances and packaging variations. Ensure the procurement channel provides valid traceability for industrial-grade components. Cross-reference the part number with the latest datasheet revision to confirm compliance with current environmental directives such as RoHS and REACH requirements before finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when applications demand a 35 A continuous current capacity with a 400 V blocking voltage. The GBPC package is suitable for chassis or board mounting via screws. Consider the 1.1 V forward voltage drop for thermal management calculations. Verify that the 400 A surge capability meets the inrush current requirements of the specific circuit design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the VS-GBPC family of high-current bridge rectifiers manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. The series is characterized by its robust plastic encapsulation and high surge current handling capabilities. It serves as a standard solution for general-purpose AC-to-DC conversion in medium-power industrial electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the GBPC3504A and GBPC3504-E4/51 variants from Vishay, which share identical electrical ratings and pin configurations. Other manufacturers offering equivalent 35 A / 400 V GBPC packages may require verification of forward voltage and thermal resistance parameters.
