GP45160B-BP

Single Diodes Overview

The GP45160B-BP is a general-purpose rectifier diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It features a 45 A average rectified forward current and a 1600 V peak repetitive reverse voltage rating. The device utilizes a TO-247AD package with Pin 1 as the cathode and Pin 2 as the anode. Electrical characteristics include a maximum non-repetitive peak surge current of 600 A at 8.3 ms, a typical forward voltage of 1.40 V at 45 A and 25°C, and a junction-to-case thermal resistance of 0.4 °C/W. The operating junction temperature range spans from -55°C to 150°C.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify authenticity by purchasing directly from MCC or authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components. Confirm the specific suffix requirements, such as adding "-HF" for halogen-free versions if mandated by project specifications. Ensure the bulk packaging configuration aligns with assembly line handling capabilities. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date against manufacturing batches to ensure compliance with current electrical tolerances and material standards.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 45 A continuous current capacity and 1600 V reverse voltage blocking are required. The TO-247AD package facilitates efficient heat dissipation through screw mounting, suitable for high-power density designs. Evaluate the forward voltage drop at expected operating temperatures to determine thermal management needs. Consider the 600 A surge capability for applications involving significant inrush currents or short-circuit conditions.
