GBPC5002

Overview

The GBPC5002 is a single-phase glass passivated bridge rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It features an average forward rectified current of 50A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200V. The device utilizes a plastic molding compound rated UL 94 V-0 for flame resistance. Electrical characteristics include a typical non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 400A at 60Hz and a maximum DC blocking current of 0.2uA at rated voltage. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated junctions provide reliable operation and enhanced protection against terminal damage.
• Integrally molded heatsink design ensures very low thermal resistance for effective heat dissipation.
• Universal four-way terminal configuration supports snap-on, wrap-around, solder, or printed circuit board mounting methods.

Applications

• General purpose AC to DC power supply conversion circuits
• Battery charging systems requiring high current handling
• Industrial control equipment power stages

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer datasheet for the exact electrical tolerances and mechanical dimensions before integration. Confirm RoHS compliance status and packaging quantities directly with authorized distributors. Ensure the selected variant matches the required voltage and current ratings for the target application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 50A continuous current rating and 200V reverse voltage capability are required in a compact bridge rectifier form factor. Consider the universal terminal options if flexible mounting strategies are needed. Evaluate thermal management requirements based on the integrally molded heatsink performance under expected load conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBPC series of high-current single-phase bridge rectifiers. The series typically spans various voltage ratings from 50V to 1000V while maintaining the 50A current capacity. The GBPC5002 specifically addresses applications needing lower voltage blocking capabilities compared to higher suffix variants like the GBPC5010.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 50A current rating, 200V reverse voltage, and GBPC package outline. Verify that alternative manufacturers offer identical terminal configurations and thermal characteristics to ensure compatibility with existing PCB layouts and heatsinking solutions.
