GBPC5001-BP

Overview

The GBPC5001-BP is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It utilizes glass passivated die construction for high reliability. The device supports an average forward current of 50 A and withstands a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 50 V. It features a low forward voltage drop of 1.1 V and a maximum surge current capacity of 400 A. The component operates within a temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature. It is housed in an electrically isolated epoxy case with screw mount terminals, providing case-to-terminal isolation of 2500 V.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated die construction ensures stable performance and long-term reliability under varying thermal conditions.
• Electrically isolated epoxy case design facilitates efficient heat dissipation while maintaining safety standards.
• Screw mount terminal configuration provides secure mechanical attachment for high-current applications.

Applications

• AC-DC power supply circuits requiring high current output
• Battery charging systems for automotive or industrial equipment
• General-purpose rectification in low-voltage DC power conversion

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix and marking on received components against official MCC datasheets to confirm authenticity. Ensure that the screw mount terminals match the intended PCB or chassis mounting hardware specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's latest documentation before integration into regulated products.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 50 A continuous current rating and 50 V blocking voltage are required in a robust screw-mount package. Consider the 1.1 V forward voltage drop for thermal management calculations. Evaluate the 400 A surge capability against potential inrush currents in the target circuit design to ensure adequate safety margins.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBPC series of high-current single-phase bridge rectifiers from Micro Commercial Components. The series is characterized by glass passivation and isolated epoxy cases. The GBPC5001-BP specifically denotes the 50 A / 50 V variant within this lineup, designed for demanding power electronics applications where reliability and thermal performance are critical.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers' GBPC50xx series parts offering identical 50 A/50 V ratings and screw mount packages. Verify pinout compatibility and physical dimensions before substitution. Ensure equivalent surge current and leakage current specifications are met to maintain circuit integrity.
