Product details
Overview
GBPC15005M from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 15A, 50V glass-passivated standard bridge rectifier in GBPC-M package with quad configuration, 1.5°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, and typical reverse leakage <0.2μA - used in AC-DC conversion stages of compact switching mode power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the GBPC15005M datasheet, GBPC15005M pinout, GBPC15005M application, or GBPC15005M equivalent, key selection criteria include peak repetitive reverse voltage (50 V), average forward current (15 A), surge capability (300 A @ 8.3 ms), thermal performance, and terminal orientation for heatsink mounting.
Technical Context
This device integrates four silicon diodes in a single-phase full-wave bridge configuration with glass-passivated junctions for enhanced reliability under transient stress. Its GBPC-M package features cathode terminals parallel to anode leads, enabling direct heatsink mounting via two 5.59 mm mounting holes.
Thermal design is supported by a low 1.5°C/W junction-to-case resistance and UL 94V-0 compliant molding compound. Electrical behavior follows standard silicon rectifier characteristics: forward voltage ≤1.1 V at rated current, reverse current ≤5 μA at 25°C, and operating junction temperature range from –55°C to +150°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 50 V - maximum repetitive reverse voltage the device blocks without breakdown |
| IF(AV) | 15 A - continuous average forward current per device rating at case temperature ≤75°C |
| IFSM | 300 A - non-repetitive peak surge current tolerance for 8.3 ms half-sine waveform |
| RθJC | 1.5 °C/W - thermal resistance from junction to case, critical for heatsink sizing |
| VF | ≤1.1 V - maximum forward voltage drop per diode at 7.5 A and 25°C junction temperature |
| IR | ≤5 µA - maximum reverse leakage current per diode at rated VR and 25°C |
| TJ(max) | +150°C - maximum allowable junction temperature for reliable long-term operation |
Pinout & Package
GBPC15005M uses the GBPC-M package: a molded, insulated plastic case with integral heatsink, matte tin-plated leads, and cathode terminals oriented parallel to anode leads for optimized PCB layout and mechanical mounting. Mounting torque must not exceed 20 in-lbs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AC1, AC2 | AC Input Terminals | Two alternating current input connections - wired to secondary winding of transformer or AC line input |
| + (Anode) | Positive DC Output | Full-wave rectified positive output node - connects to bulk capacitor or downstream regulator |
| – (Cathode) | Negative DC Output | Full-wave rectified negative/return node - common reference for DC output and heatsink attachment point |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated junction | Enables stable reverse leakage (<0.2 µA typical) and improved resistance to humidity and surface contamination |
| Integral heatsink structure | Reduces thermal path length and enables direct mounting to external heatsink without insulating washers |
| UL Recognized (E-326243) | Validates safety compliance for end-equipment certification in commercial and industrial power supplies |
| RoHS Compliant & JESD201 Class 1A | Meets environmental regulations and mitigates tin whisker risk in high-reliability applications |
| Low RθJC (1.5°C/W) | Allows higher power density designs by limiting junction temperature rise under 15 A load |
Applications
| Compact SMPS Front-End | Industrial AC-DC Adapter |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBU1505 | Same 15 A / 50 V rating but GBU package (single-in-line, no integral heatsink); RθJC ≈ 2.5°C/W | Limited to lower-power or forced-air-cooled designs due to higher thermal resistance | Prefer GBPC15005M where passive heatsinking or space-constrained mounting is required |
| KBP1505 | 15 A / 50 V in KBP package (insulated base, different footprint); slightly higher VF (1.15 V max) | Requires insulating hardware for heatsink mounting; less compact than GBPC-M | Choose GBPC15005M when direct-mount thermal performance and standardized GBPC layout are prioritized |
Compared with GBU1505 and KBP1505, GBPC15005M delivers superior thermal management via its integral heatsink and lower RθJC, enabling higher sustained current in convection-cooled industrial and appliance power supplies without layout redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for GBPC15005M?
The GBPC15005M has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings table. This allows operation in high-ambient environments when paired with appropriate heatsinking. Derating curves show usable current drops linearly above 75°C case temperature. Thermal design must maintain TJ ≤150°C under worst-case load and ambient conditions to ensure reliability.
Does GBPC15005M have UL recognition?
Yes, GBPC15005M is UL Recognized under file #E-326243, confirming compliance with UL 60747-4 for semiconductor devices. This recognition applies to the entire GBPC15/25/35 series and supports end-product safety certification for commercial and industrial power supplies without requiring additional component-level testing.
What does the "M" suffix indicate in GBPC15005M?
The "M" suffix in GBPC15005M denotes the GBPC-M package variant, where cathode terminals are oriented parallel to anode leads - distinct from GBPC-W (wire structure) and standard GBPC (terminal perpendicular). This orientation enables direct bolt-down mounting to heatsinks using the two 5.59 mm mounting holes and simplifies mechanical integration in compact power supplies.
What is the forward voltage specification for GBPC15005M at rated current?
Per electrical specifications, GBPC15005M exhibits a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 1.1 V per diode at IF = 7.5 A and TJ = 25°C. This value is measured under pulsed conditions (PW = 0.3 ms) and represents worst-case conduction loss - actual VF decreases at lower currents and increases slightly at elevated junction temperatures.
Is GBPC15005M suitable for use in medical equipment?
No - Taiwan Semiconductor explicitly states that GBPC15005M and the GBPC series are not designed for medical, life-saving, or life-sustaining applications. Customers intending such use must perform full risk assessment and assume full liability; TSC disclaims all warranties and liability for improper application in these domains.
