GBPC5008M

Overview

The GBPC5008M is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. It utilizes silicon technology and features a screw mount installation style within the GBPC-M-4 package. The component supports an average forward current of 50 A and withstands a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 800 V. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward voltage of 1.1 V at specified conditions, a reverse leakage current of 10 µA, and a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 400 A. The device operates reliably within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated die construction for enhanced reliability
• Electrically isolated epoxy case designed for efficient heat dissipation
• High current handling capability with low power loss characteristics

Applications

• AC to DC conversion in power supply units
• Battery charging circuits
• General purpose rectification in industrial equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer part number against official datasheets to ensure compatibility with design requirements. Confirm compliance with RoHS and REACH regulations as stated in the product documentation. Check for any recent part number revisions or obsolescence notices from Taiwan Semiconductor before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 50 A single-phase bridge rectifier with 800 V blocking voltage is required. Ensure the application environment allows for screw mounting and provides adequate thermal management for the GBPC-M-4 package. Verify that the operating temperature range meets the system's minimum and maximum junction temperature specifications.

Part Context

This component belongs to the GBPC series of high-current single-phase bridge rectifiers. It shares the standard GBPC footprint with other variants in the family, differing primarily in current ratings and voltage capabilities. The 'M' suffix typically denotes specific packaging or revision details defined by the manufacturer.

Replacement Considerations

Direct parameter-equivalent substitutes may include the GBPC5008 without the 'M' suffix if pinout and mechanical dimensions are identical. Other manufacturers producing glass-passivated 50A 800V bridge rectifiers in the GBPC package can be considered after verifying thermal and electrical specifications.
