GBU15D-BP

Overview

The GBU15D-BP is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It utilizes silicon technology and features a plastic package with Underwriters Laboratory flammability classification of 94V-0. The component is UL listed under file number E231047 as a recognized component. Key electrical specifications include a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 V, an average rectified forward current of 15 A at 60 Hz with a resistive load and heatsink, and a maximum DC reverse current of 5 µA at 25°C rated blocking voltage. The device supports a peak forward surge current of 300 A for a 10 ms half-sine wave and operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and manufacturer lot codes against the official MCC datasheet before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status and REACH SVHC declarations directly from the supplier documentation. Ensure the component matches the required voltage and current ratings for the target application circuit. Check for any end-of-life or not recommended for new design notices associated with this part number.

Selection Notes

Select the GBU15D-BP when a 200 V reverse voltage rating and 15 A continuous forward current are required. Consider the D-PAK or similar bulk packaging if surface mount alternatives are not needed. Evaluate thermal management requirements based on the specified case temperature limits. Compare against other GBU series variants such as GBU15J or GBU15K if higher voltage ratings are necessary for the system design.

Part Context

This component belongs to the GBU15 series of bridge rectifiers from Micro Commercial Components. The series offers various voltage ratings including 50 V, 100 V, 200 V, 400 V, 600 V, 800 V, and 1000 V options. The GBU15D-BP specifically denotes the 200 V variant within this family of glass-passivated silicon bridge rectifiers designed for general-purpose applications.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include GBU15J-BP, GBU15K-BP, and GBU15M-BP from MCC for higher voltage requirements. Other manufacturers offering equivalent GBU15 series packages may provide functional replacements if pinout and electrical parameters match exactly.
