Product details
Overview
GBPC1502M from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 15A, 200V glass-passivated quad bridge rectifier in GBPC-M package, featuring 1.5°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, <5µA reverse leakage at rated voltage, and 300A non-repetitive surge current capability; used in AC-DC converters and switching mode power supplies requiring high thermal efficiency and compact mounting.
For engineers reviewing the GBPC1502M datasheet, GBPC1502M pinout, GBPC1502M application, or GBPC1502M equivalent, key selection criteria include peak reverse voltage (200V), average forward current (15A), thermal resistance (1.5°C/W), surge rating (300A), and GBPC-M terminal orientation for heatsink-mounted PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This discrete bridge rectifier integrates four silicon diodes in a single molded GBPC-M package with cathode terminals parallel to anode leads, enabling direct heatsink mounting via the integral metal baseplate. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable reverse characteristics across -55°C to +150°C operating range.
Designed for high-efficiency AC-DC conversion, it delivers 1.1V max forward voltage per diode at rated current and supports 8.3ms half-sine surge events without fusing up to 373 A²s I²t rating - critical for inrush-tolerant industrial power supplies.

| TJ(max) | +150 °C - maximum allowable junction temperature for reliable long-term operation |
Pinout & Package
GBPC1502M uses the GBPC-M package: a 4-terminal, molded plastic case with integral heatsink baseplate and matte tin-plated leads; cathode terminals are oriented parallel to anode leads for optimized PCB layout and mechanical mounting torque up to 20 in-lbs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBU15K (ON Semiconductor) | Same 15A/200V rating but GBU package (lower thermal resistance: 1.2°C/W); no integral heatsink baseplate | Requires external heatsink mounting; less suitable for direct-baseplate conduction cooling | Prefer when board-level heatsinking is available and lower RθJC is prioritized over mechanical integration |
| KBP1502 (Shindengen) | 15A/200V, KBP package; higher IR (10 µA max) and RθJC (2.0°C/W); UL recognized (E125972) | Higher thermal impedance limits continuous current in confined spaces; acceptable where ambient temp is controlled | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs thermal margin, and existing KBP footprint reuse is required |
Compared with GBPC1502M, GBU15K offers superior thermal performance but lacks integrated heatsink mounting, while KBP1502 trades off leakage and thermal resistance for broader distributor availability and legacy design compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for GBPC1502M?
The GBPC1502M has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings table in the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. This allows sustained operation in high-ambient industrial environments when paired with appropriate heatsinking. Thermal derating curves confirm usable current capacity down to 0 A at 150°C case temperature. GBPC1502M must not exceed this limit to ensure reliability and avoid parametric shift.
Does GBPC1502M have UL recognition?
Yes, GBPC1502M is UL Recognized under File # E-326243, as stated in the official Taiwan Semiconductor documentation. This certification covers flammability (UL 94V-0), electrical insulation, and construction compliance - enabling its use in end products requiring UL listing. The recognition applies specifically to the GBPC-M package variant, including GBPC1502M, and supports system-level safety evaluations for industrial and commercial power supplies.
What does the "M" suffix in GBPC1502M indicate?
The "M" suffix in GBPC1502M 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 cathode perpendicular). This configuration facilitates direct heatsink mounting with uniform mechanical stress distribution and is specified in Taiwan Semiconductor's ordering information and mechanical drawings. GBPC1502M is not interchangeable with GBPC1502 or GBPC1502W without layout revision.
What is the forward voltage drop of GBPC1502M at rated current?
At 7.5 A forward current and 25°C junction temperature, GBPC1502M exhibits a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 1.1 V per diode, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table. Since it is a full-wave bridge, total conduction loss includes two diode drops in series - resulting in ≤2.2 V total drop at 15 A DC output. Pulse testing conditions (0.3 ms PW) ensure this value reflects real-world switching-converter operation.
Is GBPC1502M RoHS compliant and lead-free solder compatible?
Yes, GBPC1502M is RoHS compliant and features matte tin-plated leads qualified per J-STD-002 for lead-free soldering. It also passes JESD201 Class 1A whisker testing, ensuring reliability in Pb-free reflow processes. Taiwan Semiconductor confirms compliance in the Mechanical Data section, and the molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability requirements - making GBPC1502M suitable for modern environmentally regulated manufacturing.
