Product details
Overview
GBJ2501-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 25A standard recovery bridge rectifier in GBJ package, rated for 100V peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.05V max forward voltage at 12.5A, and 10µA max reverse leakage at 25°C. It features glass-passivated die construction, 2500VRMS case dielectric strength, and 350A peak surge capability - deployed in AC/DC front-end power supplies for industrial motor drives.
For engineers reviewing the GBJ2501-F datasheet, GBJ2501-F pinout, GBJ2501-F application, or GBJ2501-F equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM margin for line-voltage transients, thermal resistance (1.0°C/W junction-to-case), IFSM rating for inrush robustness, and UL recognition for safety-compliant designs.
Technical Context
This single-phase full-wave bridge rectifier integrates four silicon diodes in a monolithic GBJ molded plastic package with through-hole mounting. Its standard recovery characteristic (non-fast/soft recovery) suits general-purpose line-frequency rectification where EMI constraints are moderate and switching losses are secondary to conduction efficiency.
The device operates across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range and delivers 25A average output current when mounted on a specified 250mm × 250mm × 20mm aluminum heatsink. Reverse leakage remains ≤10µA at 25°C and ≤500µA at 125°C, supporting stable DC bus hold-up in unregulated supplies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - Withstands 100V peak reverse voltage without breakdown; suitable for 70V RMS AC input (e.g., 100VAC nominal systems) |
| IF(AV) | 25 A - Sustains 25A average forward current with heatsink; defines continuous DC output capability |
| VF Max | 1.05 V @ 12.5A - Conduction loss of ~13.1W per half-cycle at rated current; impacts thermal design and efficiency |
| IFSM | 350 A - Handles 8.3ms half-sine surge; protects against cold-start inrush into capacitive loads |
| RθJC | 1.0 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance enables precise heatsink sizing for 150°C max TJ operation |
| IR Max | 10 µA @ 25°C - Low leakage preserves DC bus voltage during standby; critical for low-power hold-up |
Pinout & Package
Package: GBJ - Molded plastic, UL 94V-0 rated, lead-free tin-plated leads, 6.6g weight, designed for #6 screw mounting with 5.0 in-lbs max torque.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBU25J | Same 25A/100V rating but GBU package (smaller footprint, lower IFSM = 250A) | Limited surge robustness; unsuitable for high-inrush motor start applications | Select when board space is constrained and surge stress is low |
| KBPC2510 | Higher VRRM (1000V), same IF(AV), larger KBPC package, no UL recognition | Over-spec'd voltage rating increases cost and size unnecessarily for 100V-class systems | Select only if future-proofing for higher AC input or absence of UL requirement |
Compared with GBU25J and KBPC2510, GBJ2501-F uniquely balances 100V rating, 350A surge capability, UL recognition, and GBJ mechanical robustness - making it optimal for industrial-grade 100VAC-fed power supplies requiring safety certification and thermal resilience.

FAQ
What is the maximum heatsink temperature allowed for continuous 25A operation?
At 25A average forward current, junction temperature must not exceed +150°C. With RθJC = 1.0°C/W and typical case-to-heatsink resistance of ~0.5°C/W, the heatsink surface temperature must remain ≤125°C under worst-case ambient and airflow conditions to maintain safe operation.
Is GBJ2501-F suitable for use in automotive applications?
GBJ2501-F is not AEC-Q101 qualified and lacks PPAP documentation. While it operates across -55°C to +150°C, Diodes explicitly states that automotive use requires contacting their representative for change-controlled, IATF 16949-manufactured alternatives - this part is intended for industrial/commercial use only.
Does the GBJ2501-F have polarity marking on the package?
Yes - polarity is molded directly onto the plastic body: "+" marks the positive DC output terminal, "~" symbols identify the two AC input terminals, and "–" denotes the negative DC output terminal, enabling unambiguous PCB layout and assembly verification.
Can GBJ2501-F replace GBJ25005-F in a 50V design?
No - GBJ25005-F has 50V VRRM while GBJ2501-F is rated for 100V. Though electrically functional in a 50V system, substitution introduces unnecessary voltage overhead and may affect thermal performance due to differing die geometry and VF characteristics; Diodes does not endorse cross-voltage-series interchangeability.
