GBPC5012-BP

Overview

The GBPC5012-BP is a glass passivated single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1000 V and a maximum DC blocking voltage of 1000 V. The device supports an average forward current of 50 A with a heat sink at a case temperature of 75°C. Peak forward surge current reaches 500 A for an 8.3 ms half sine-wave pulse. Maximum forward voltage drop per element is 1.1 V, while maximum DC reverse current is 5 µA at 25°C junction temperature. Operating junction temperature ranges from -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated die construction ensures high reliability and low reverse leakage current.
• Epoxy casing meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating and provides electrical isolation.
• Vacuum soldering process minimizes solder voids to typically 2% and maximally less than 8%.
• Halogen-free option available upon request by adding the suffix "-HF".

Applications

• High current single-phase bridge rectification
• Power supply circuits requiring 1000 V blocking capability
• Industrial equipment with thermal management via heat sinks

Procurement Notes

Verify authenticity through authorized MCC distributors or direct purchase to avoid counterfeit components. Confirm RoHS compliance status based on the "-BP" suffix designation. Check for halogen-free requirements if the "-HF" suffix is needed. Ensure ordering quantities match bulk packaging specifications of 50 pieces per box and 400 pieces per carton.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring 50 A continuous current handling and 1000 V reverse voltage blocking. Ensure adequate heat sinking is provided to maintain case temperature within limits for rated current operation. Verify mounting torque does not exceed 8.0 in-lbs. Consider the vacuum soldered construction for reduced voiding in high-reliability assemblies.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBPC series of glass passivated bridge rectifiers from Micro Commercial Components. The series offers various voltage ratings up to 1000 V and current ratings including 50 A. The GBPC5012 specifically denotes the 50 Ampere, 1000 Volt variant within this product line.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers' GBPC5012 equivalents. Verify pinout compatibility and physical dimensions before substitution. Ensure thermal resistance and surge current capabilities meet or exceed original specifications.
