GBU1502

Overview

The GBU1502 is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by SMC Diode Solutions. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 V and an average forward rectified current of 15 A. The device utilizes standard silicon technology and is housed in a GBU (4-ESIP) through-hole package. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.1 V at 15 A and a maximum non-repetitive surge current capability of 300 A. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C.

Feature Summary

• High current handling capability with 15 A average forward rectified current rating
• Robust surge protection with 300 A non-repetitive peak forward surge current support
• Through-hole mounting design for secure mechanical attachment on printed circuit boards

Applications

• General-purpose AC to DC power supply circuits
• Battery charging systems requiring moderate current levels
• Industrial control equipment power stages

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix against manufacturer documentation to confirm exact packaging and tape-and-reel specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements prior to integration into assembly processes. Ensure supplier provides valid traceability data for quality assurance purposes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 200 V reverse voltage rating and 15 A continuous current capacity are required. The GBU package offers a compact footprint suitable for space-constrained through-hole designs. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the 1.1 V forward voltage drop at full load conditions.

Part Context

This component belongs to the GBU series of single-phase bridge rectifiers from SMC Diode Solutions. The series provides various voltage ratings while maintaining a consistent 15 A current capability and standardized GBU package dimensions, facilitating design interchangeability across different voltage requirements.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible replacements include equivalent 15 A, 200 V single-phase bridge rectifiers in the GBU or similar through-hole packages. Verify that substitute parts match the 1.1 V maximum forward voltage and 300 A surge current specifications to ensure circuit performance parity.
