VS-GBPC3504W

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The VS-GBPC3504W is a single-phase bridge rectifier from the Vishay VS-GBPC.. Series, rated for an average forward current (IO) of 35 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 400 V. It utilizes glass passivated diode chips within a high thermal conductivity GBPC...W package featuring wire leads. The device operates across a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C, with a maximum forward voltage drop (VFM) of 1.1 V at 25 °C. Peak non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM) reaches 500 A at 60 Hz, while the maximum DC reverse current (IRRM) is limited to 5 μA.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• Features universal three-way terminals supporting push-on, wrap-around, or solder connections
• Constructed with glass passivated diode chips in an electrically insulated case
• Includes positive polarity symbol molded on the plastic housing

Bridge Rectifier Applications

• General purpose power supply circuits
• Instrumentation applications
• Industrial equipment requiring reliable AC-to-DC conversion

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm terminal configuration and compliance status. Ensure that the selected component matches the required electrical ratings for the intended application environment. Cross-reference the document number and revision date to access the most current technical specifications and mechanical drawings before finalizing procurement decisions.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component based on the 35 A continuous current rating and 400 V blocking voltage requirements. Evaluate the thermal resistance characteristics and mounting torque specifications to ensure adequate heat dissipation. Confirm that the wire lead termination style aligns with the PCB layout or wiring harness design constraints of the target assembly.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This part belongs to the VS-GBPC.. Series of single-phase bridge rectifiers manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. The series encompasses various current ratings and voltage codes, providing options for different power handling needs. The 'W' designation specifically indicates the inclusion of wire leads rather than standard fast-on terminals.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Consult the manufacturer's cross-reference documentation for verified alternative part numbers. Ensure any substitute component maintains identical electrical parameters, package dimensions, and terminal configurations to guarantee compatibility without redesigning the host circuit board.
