SMC Diode Solutions GBJ2510

Overview

GBJ2510 from Diodes Incorporated is a 25A standard recovery bridge rectifier in GBJ package, rated for 1000V peak repetitive reverse voltage, 1.05V max forward voltage at 12.5A, and 10µA max reverse leakage at 25°C. It features glass-passivated die construction, 2500VRMS dielectric strength, and 350A peak surge capability - deployed in AC/DC power supplies for industrial motor drives.

For engineers reviewing the GBJ2510 datasheet, GBJ2510 pinout, GBJ2510 application, or GBJ2510 equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM=1000V, IF(AV)=25A with heatsink, IFSM=350A, RθJC=1.0°C/W, and UL recognition E95060 for safety-critical board-level rectification.

Technical Context

This single-phase full-wave bridge rectifier integrates four standard recovery diodes in a monolithic GBJ molded plastic package. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable reverse blocking up to 1000V and low IR drift over temperature (500µA max at +125°C).

The device is optimized for through-hole mounting on PCBs with #6 screw fastening and delivers 25A average output current when thermally coupled to a 250mm × 250mm × 20mm aluminum heatsink, leveraging its 1.0°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating junction temperature for GBJ2510?

The GBJ2510 has a specified operating junction temperature range of –55°C to +150°C. Its 25A average current rating is defined at TJ = +150°C with appropriate heatsinking, and thermal shutdown is not integrated - external thermal design must ensure junction stays within this limit under worst-case load and ambient conditions.

Is GBJ2510 RoHS compliant and lead-free?

Yes, GBJ2510 features lead-free plating (tin finish) and complies with EU RoHS Directives 2002/95/EC, 2011/65/EU, and 2015/863/EU. It meets Diodes Incorporated's "Green" definition, including halogen- and antimony-free materials, and is qualified per MIL-STD-202 solderability standards.

Can GBJ2510 be used in automotive applications?

GBJ2510 is not AEC-Q101 qualified. While it operates across –55°C to +150°C, Diodes states that automotive-grade versions require specific change control, PPAP capability, and IATF 16949 manufacturing - contact Diodes directly for AEC-compliant alternatives such as the ABS25 series.

What is the recommended heatsink interface for GBJ2510 at full 25A load?

Diodes specifies a 250mm × 250mm × 20mm aluminum plate heatsink for the 25A rating. Thermal interface material (e.g., silicone grease or phase-change pad) is required between case and heatsink to achieve the stated RθJC = 1.0°C/W; mounting torque must not exceed 5.0 in-lbs to avoid case cracking or thermal resistance degradation.
