GBPC3504W-E4/51

Overview

The Vishay GBPC3504W-E4/51 is a glass-passivated single-phase bridge rectifier from the GBPC35 series, designed for general-purpose AC/DC full-wave rectification. It features a maximum average forward rectified output current of 35 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 400 V. The component utilizes wire leads instead of standard faston lugs, as indicated by the 'W' suffix in its part number. Key electrical parameters include a typical reverse leakage current (IR) of less than 0.3 μA, a maximum instantaneous forward drop (VF) of 1.1 V at an IF of 17.5 A, and a peak forward surge current (IFSM) capability of 400 A. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivation provides long-term stability and protection against mechanical stress and chemical corrosion.
• Universal terminal design supports snap-on, wire wrap-around, or PCB mounting configurations.
• High surge current capability ensures robust performance under transient load conditions.
• Low thermal resistance facilitates efficient heat dissipation during continuous operation.

Applications

• General purpose AC/DC bridge full wave rectification
• Power supply circuits
• Home appliances
• Office equipment
• Industrial automation applications

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix includes the letter 'W', which denotes the presence of wire leads rather than the standard faston lugs found on other variants in the GBPC35 family. Confirm compliance with RoHS directives and check for UL recognition file number E54214 to ensure adherence to safety standards required for your specific application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 35 A current rating and 400 V blocking voltage are required for single-phase rectification. The GBPC-W package variant is specifically chosen when wire termination is preferred over screw-mount terminals. Ensure the application does not exceed the 400 A non-repetitive surge current limit and verify that the operating ambient temperature remains within the specified -55 °C to +150 °C range for reliable performance.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Vishay GBPC35 series of glass-passivated single-phase bridge rectifiers. The series offers various voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 1000 V while maintaining a consistent 35 A average forward current rating. The GBPC3504W-E4/51 specifically addresses the 400 V requirement within this lineup, providing a standardized solution for medium-power rectification tasks across industrial and consumer electronics sectors.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same manufacturer's portfolio include other GBPC35 variants such as GBPC3506-E4/51 (600 V) or GBPC3508-E4/51 (800 V), provided the circuit voltage requirements allow for higher ratings. Cross-manufacturer equivalents must be verified for matching 35 A current capacity, 400 V reverse voltage, and compatible GBPC-W physical dimensions and lead configurations.

FAQ
