GBPC3508W-E4/51

Overview

The GBPC3508W-E4/51 is a glass passivated single-phase bridge rectifier from the Vishay GBPC35 series. It features an 800 V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) and supports a 35 A maximum average forward rectified output current (IF(AV)). The device provides a 400 A peak forward surge current capability (IFSM). Electrical characteristics include a typical instantaneous forward drop of 1.1 V at rated current and a maximum reverse DC current of 5 μA at 25 °C. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C and utilizes a GBPC-W package with wire leads.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivation for enhanced stability
• Universal terminal mounting options including snap-on, wire wrap-around, or PCB mounting
• High surge current capability for robust operation
• Low thermal resistance for efficient heat dissipation

Applications

• AC/DC bridge full wave rectification in power supplies
• Home appliances
• Office equipment
• Industrial automation applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm lead time and compliance status. Confirm that the GBPC-W designation matches the required wire lead configuration rather than faston lugs. Ensure the E4 suffix aligns with RoHS requirements for the intended deployment environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an 800 V blocking voltage and 35 A continuous current rating are required. The GBPC-W package variant is specifically designed for applications requiring wire leads instead of standard snap-on terminals. Verify that the thermal management strategy accommodates the specified junction-to-case thermal resistance under expected load conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay GBPC35 family of single-phase bridge rectifiers. The series offers various voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 1000 V while maintaining a consistent 35 A current capacity. The GBPC3508W-E4/51 represents the 800 V variant within this standardized product line.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering GBPC35 form-factor bridge rectifiers with matching 800 V and 35 A ratings. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance specifications before substitution.

FAQ

What does the 'W' suffix indicate in the model number?

The 'W' suffix indicates that the component is equipped with wire leads instead of the standard faston lugs found on the base GBPC package.

What is the maximum RMS isolation voltage?

The maximum RMS isolation voltage from case to leads is 2500 V.

How is polarity identified on the component?

Polarity is marked on the casing, with the positive lead indicated by a beveled corner.
