GBU15J-BP

Overview

The GBU15J-BP is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. It features a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 600 V and an average rectified forward current of 15 A at a case temperature of 100 °C. The device utilizes a GBU surface-mount package (DO-277AB) with solder pad termination. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 300 A under specified conditions and a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.1 V at 7.5 A. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C and supports high-temperature soldering at 260 °C for 10 seconds.

Feature Summary

• Plastic package constructed with UL flammability classification 94V-0
• Recognized component listed under UL file number E231047
• Single-in-line surface mount design for compact integration

Applications

• General purpose AC to DC conversion in power supplies
• Battery charging circuits requiring 600V isolation
• Industrial control systems utilizing surface mount technology

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix BP against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm compliance with RoHS directives and REACH SVHC requirements. Ensure that the GBU package dimensions align with the target PCB footprint, as variations in lead frame plating or molding compound may exist between production batches. Cross-reference the part number with official distributor catalogs to confirm availability status and lead times prior to finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 15 A continuous current rating and 600 V reverse voltage blocking capability are required in a surface-mount form factor. The GBU15J variant is suitable for applications demanding high surge current handling up to 300 A. Consider thermal management strategies for operation near the maximum case temperature limit of 100 °C to maintain the rated current capacity without derating.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBU15 series of bridge rectifiers from Micro Commercial Components, which offers various voltage ratings including 50 V, 100 V, 200 V, 400 V, 800 V, and 1000 V options. The GBU15J specifically denotes the 600 V rating within this lineup. The series is characterized by its plastic encapsulation and suitability for automated surface-mount assembly processes in consumer and industrial electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 15 A current rating, 600 V reverse voltage, and GBU (DO-277AB) package outline. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values. Other manufacturers producing equivalent GBU15J specifications can be considered if they provide identical mechanical dimensions and electrical performance curves.
