GBPC4004M

Overview

The GBPC4004M is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor. It features a screw mount installation style within the GBPC-M package, measuring 29 mm in length and width with a height of 7.87 mm. The device supports a forward current of 40 A and withstands a peak reverse voltage of 400 V. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward voltage of 1.1 V, a surge current capacity of 400 A, and a reverse leakage current of 10 uA. It operates reliably within a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes silicon technology for robust rectification performance.
• Designed for screw mounting to ensure secure mechanical attachment.
• Provides high thermal stability suitable for demanding environments.

Applications

• General-purpose power supply circuits
• AC to DC conversion systems
• Industrial control equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity by cross-referencing the manufacturer marking with official datasheet specifications. Confirm that the GBPC-M package dimensions and terminal configuration match the design requirements. Ensure compliance with relevant environmental standards as indicated in the product documentation before integration into final assemblies.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 40 A continuous current rating and 400 V reverse voltage capability are required. The GBPC-M package is appropriate for applications necessitating screw-mount termination rather than surface mount or through-hole leaded options. Consider the 1.1 V forward voltage drop for thermal management calculations in the specific circuit design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBPC40xx series of bridge rectifiers from Taiwan Semiconductor. It shares the same physical footprint and mounting style as other variants in the series but differs in voltage ratings. The GBPC-M designation specifically identifies the case style and terminal type used for this 40 A device family.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must maintain the 40 A current rating, 400 V reverse voltage, and GBPC-M screw-mount package. Verify that alternative manufacturers offer identical pinout configurations and thermal characteristics to ensure compatibility without redesigning the mounting hardware.
