VS-GBPC3510W

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The VS-GBPC3510W is a single-phase bridge rectifier from the Vishay VS-GBPC series, rated for an average forward current (IO) of 35 A at a case temperature (TC) of 55 °C. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 1000 V and a non-repetitive peak surge current (IFSM) of 500 A at 60 Hz. The device utilizes glass passivated diode chips within an electrically insulated package, offering a junction-to-case thermal resistance (RthJC) of 1.4 K/W. Operating temperatures range from -55 °C to +150 °C, with a maximum forward voltage drop (VFM) of 1.1 V.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• Universal terminal configuration supporting push-on, wrap-around, or solder connections
• High thermal conductivity encapsulated plastic case with center hole fixing capability
• Glass passivated diode chips providing excellent power-to-volume ratio

Bridge Rectifier Applications

• General purpose power supply circuits
• Instrumentation applications requiring reliable AC-to-DC conversion
• Industrial equipment utilizing standard bridge rectification topologies

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm terminal style and compliance status. Ensure that the procurement channel provides traceable documentation matching the VS-GBPC3510W designation. Cross-reference the component marking with the datasheet outline drawing to validate authenticity before integration into production assemblies.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component when a 35 A continuous current rating and 1000 V blocking voltage are required in a compact form factor. Evaluate the thermal management requirements based on the 1.4 K/W junction-to-case resistance. Confirm that the application environment remains within the specified -55 °C to +150 °C operating temperature range for optimal performance and longevity.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This component belongs to the VS-GBPC series of single-phase bridge rectifiers manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. The series encompasses various current ratings and voltage codes, designed for robust operation in consumer and industrial environments. The 'W' suffix specifically denotes the wire lead version of the GBPC package, distinguishing it from the standard fast-on terminal variant.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other manufacturers' GBPC3510 variants, such as those from Diodes Incorporated or Panjit International. Verify that substitute components match the 35 A current rating, 1000 V voltage code, and compatible GBPC package dimensions for mechanical interchangeability.
