GBPC6005-E4/51

Overview

The GBPC6005-E4/51 is a glass passivated single-phase bridge rectifier from Vishay General Semiconductor. It features a maximum average forward rectified output current of 6.0 A at a case temperature of 50 °C and supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 50 V. The device withstands a peak forward surge current of 175 A for a single sine wave superimposed on rated load. Electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage drop of 1.0 V at 3.0 A and a maximum DC reverse current of 5.0 μA at 25 °C. Operating junction and storage temperatures range from -55 °C to +150 °C, with typical thermal resistance values of 22 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) and 7.3 °C/W (junction-to-case).

Feature Summary

• Glass passivation provides mechanical strength and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability ratings.
• High surge current capability ensures robustness against transient electrical loads.
• Silver-plated leads offer solderability compliant with J-STD-002 standards.

Applications

• AC/DC bridge full-wave rectification in power supplies.
• Home appliances requiring general-purpose rectification.
• Office equipment utilizing low-voltage AC conversion.
• Industrial automation systems operating within standard temperature ranges.

Procurement Notes

Verify the component's availability status through authorized distributors or official manufacturer channels before initiating procurement. Confirm that the specific ordering suffix matches the required package quantity and delivery mode specifications. Ensure compliance with RoHS requirements and commercial grade material categorization as defined in the product documentation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 50 V peak reverse voltage rating is sufficient for the application circuit. Ensure the design accommodates a 6 A continuous forward current limit at specified case temperatures. Verify that the PCB layout allows for adequate heat dissipation to maintain junction temperatures within the -55 °C to +150 °C operational range during continuous operation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBPC6 series of single-phase bridge rectifiers manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. The series encompasses variants with different voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 1000 V while maintaining a consistent 6 A current capacity and GBPC6 package style. The E4/51 suffix indicates RoHS compliance and a specific bulk packaging configuration.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 50 V VRRM, 6 A IF(AV), and GBPC6 package dimensions. Verify that substitute components meet the same 175 A IFSM surge rating and -55 °C to +150 °C temperature specifications to ensure equivalent performance in existing designs.
