GBPC5012H-BP

Overview

The GBPC5012H-BP is a glass passivated single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. It features an average forward current of 50 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1000 V. The device has a maximum DC blocking voltage of 1000 V and a typical maximum forward voltage drop of 1.1 V per element. It withstands a peak forward surge current of 500 A for 8.3 ms. Operating junction temperature ranges from -55°C to +150°C, with a thermal resistance of 1.0°C/W from junction to case.

Feature Summary

• Lead-free finish compliant with RoHS directives
• Vacuum soldering process minimizes solder voids to typically 2 percent
• Epoxy casing meets UL 94-V-0 flammability rating

Applications

• High current single-phase bridge rectification
• Power supply circuits requiring high voltage isolation
• Industrial equipment operating in extreme temperatures

Procurement Notes

Verify the authenticity of the GBPC5012H-BP through authorized MCC distributors or direct procurement channels. Counterfeit components are prevalent; ensure traceability and quality standards are met. Confirm packaging details match bulk specifications of 50 pieces per box and 400 pieces per carton before finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1000 V rating and 50 A continuous current capacity are required. Ensure the application supports screw mounting with a torque limit of 8.0 in-lbs. Verify that the thermal environment allows for operation within the specified -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range without exceeding the 1.0°C/W thermal resistance limit.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBPC-H series of high-current bridge rectifiers. The 'H' suffix indicates specific manufacturing enhancements regarding solder void reduction. It shares the GBPC mechanical footprint with other variants in the family but differs in voltage ratings and internal construction specifics defined by the datasheet.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 1000 V rating, 50 A current, and GBPC-4 package dimensions. Verify equivalent thermal resistance and forward voltage characteristics. Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering glass-passivated silicon bridge rectifiers in identical screw-mount configurations.
