GBPC3510-E4/51

Overview

The GBPC3510-E4/51 is a glass-passivated single-phase bridge rectifier from the Vishay GBPC35 series. It provides a maximum average forward rectified output current of 35 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1000 V. The device features a peak forward surge current capability of 400 A for non-repetitive sine-wave pulses exceeding 1 ms. Electrical characteristics include a typical instantaneous forward drop of 1.1 V at 17.5 A and a maximum reverse DC current of 5 μA at rated blocking voltage. Thermal resistance (junction-to-case) is specified at 1.4 °C/W, supporting operation within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivation protects junctions against mechanical stress
• Universal terminal design supports snap-on, wire wrap-around, or PCB mounting
• High surge current capability with low thermal resistance

Applications

• AC/DC bridge full wave rectification for power supplies
• Home appliances and office equipment
• Industrial automation applications

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity by cross-referencing the manufacturer part number and datasheet revision date. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation. Ensure proper handling procedures are followed during storage and installation to maintain electrical integrity and prevent physical damage to the terminals.

Selection Notes

Select this component based on the required 35 A continuous current rating and 1000 V reverse voltage tolerance. Evaluate the thermal management requirements using the 1.4 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance value. Verify that the application's peak inrush currents remain below the 400 A non-repetitive surge limit to ensure reliable long-term operation under expected load conditions.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Vishay GBPC35 series of single-phase bridge rectifiers. The series encompasses variants with different current ratings and voltage specifications, all sharing the standardized GBPC package outline. The E4 suffix indicates lead-free construction compliant with RoHS directives, while the /51 code specifies the bulk paper box packaging format.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 35 A current rating, 1000 V reverse voltage, and GBPC package dimensions. Verify that alternative components offer equivalent thermal resistance and surge current capabilities to maintain circuit performance without requiring layout modifications.
