GBU5010-BP

Overview

The GBU5010-BP is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It features a glass passivated chip junction and halogen-free construction. The device supports an average rectified forward current of 50 A at a case temperature of 100°C, with a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 1000 V. Non-repetitive peak surge current reaches 1000 A for an 8.3 ms half-sine wave. Thermal resistance from junction to case is 0.5 °C/W, while junction-to-ambient resistance without a heatsink is 22 °C/W. Operating junction temperature ranges from -55°C to 150°C.

Procurement Notes

Verify authenticity through authorized MCC distributors or direct purchase to avoid counterfeit components. Confirm RoHS compliance via the "BP" suffix designation. Ensure proper handling and storage protocols are followed to maintain product quality standards established by the manufacturer.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1000 V blocking voltage and 50 A continuous current capacity are required. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the specified junction-to-case and junction-to-ambient thermal resistances. Ensure the application environment falls within the -55°C to 150°C operating temperature range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBU series of bridge rectifiers from Micro Commercial Components. The series offers various voltage and current ratings within the same mechanical footprint. The GBU5010 specifically targets applications requiring high voltage isolation and significant current handling capabilities in a robust plastic package.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official datasheets for cross-reference compatibility. Verify pinout alignment, voltage ratings, and current capacities before substitution. Ensure thermal characteristics match the original design requirements.
