Product details
Overview
GBPC1502W from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 15A, 200V glass-passivated single-phase bridge rectifier in GBPC-W wire-structure package, featuring 1.1V max forward voltage at 7.5A, <5µA reverse leakage at 25°C, and 300A peak surge current for AC/DC conversion in switching power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the GBPC1502W datasheet, GBPC1502W pinout, GBPC1502W application, or GBPC1502W equivalent, key selection criteria include rated repetitive peak reverse voltage (200V), average forward current (15A), thermal resistance (1.5°C/W), and UL recognition (E-326243) for industrial SMPS design compliance.
Technical Context
This discrete bridge rectifier integrates four silicon diodes in a single quad configuration with glass-passivated junctions for enhanced reliability under thermal cycling. Its GBPC-W package features wire-structured terminals and an integrally molded heatsink enabling low thermal resistance (1.5°C/W) and high-power dissipation capability.
The device operates across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range, supports 8.3ms half-sine surge currents up to 300A, and meets JESD201 Class 1A whisker resistance and UL 94V-0 flammability standards - all critical for continuous-duty AC input stages.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - Maximum non-repetitive reverse voltage the device withstands without breakdown during AC line transients |
| IF(AV) | 15 A - Continuous average forward current rating defining maximum steady-state DC output capability |
| VF(max) | 1.1 V @ 7.5A - Peak forward voltage drop per diode, directly determining conduction loss and thermal load in rectifier stage |
| IFSM | 300 A - Peak non-repetitive surge current handling capacity for inrush and fault conditions without failure |
| RθJC | 1.5 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance, enabling accurate heatsink sizing for 15A operation at TJ ≤ 150°C |
| IR(max) | 5 µA @ 25°C - Maximum reverse leakage per diode, ensuring minimal standby power loss in offline converters |
Pinout & Package
GBPC1502W uses the GBPC-W package: a 4-terminal, wire-structured, integrally molded heatsink housing with cathode-indicated channeled corner and matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD201 Class 1A whisker testing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AC1 | AC Input Terminal 1 | One of two alternating-current input connections; tied internally to anode of D1 and cathode of D2 in full-wave bridge topology |
| AC2 | AC Input Terminal 2 | Second AC input connection; tied internally to anode of D3 and cathode of D4 - forms complete bridge input pair |
| + (Anode) | DC Positive Output | Common anode node of D1 and D3; delivers rectified positive DC output to filter capacitor or regulator stage |
| – (Cathode) | DC Negative Output | Common cathode node of D2 and D4; serves as return path and ground reference for DC output rail |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated chip junction | Enables stable reverse leakage (<5µA) and long-term reliability under humidity and thermal stress in unsealed environments |
| Integrally molded heatsink | Provides 1.5°C/W thermal resistance - eliminates need for external heatsink in 15A/200V applications up to 65°C ambient |
| UL Recognized (E-326243) | Validates safety compliance for end-equipment certification in commercial and industrial power supplies |
| RoHS Compliant & JESD201 Class 1A | Ensures lead-free manufacturing compatibility and mitigates tin whisker risk in high-reliability PCB assemblies |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay GBPC1502 | Same 15A/200V rating, GBPC package but standard (non-wire) terminal geometry; RθJC = 1.6°C/W | Lacks wire-structure mounting flexibility; requires separate heatsink clamping for >10A continuous use | Preferred where board-level heatsinking is already implemented and terminal coplanarity is critical |
| ON Semiconductor GBU1502 | 15A/200V GBU package (4-pin inline); higher VF (1.2V typ), RθJC = 2.0°C/W, no UL recognition | Smaller footprint but lower thermal performance; not certified for safety-critical mains-connected designs | Selected for space-constrained consumer designs where UL listing is not mandated |
Compared with GBPC1502W, GBPC1502 offers identical electrical specs but reduced mechanical mounting versatility, while GBU1502 trades thermal efficiency and safety certification for compactness - making GBPC1502W optimal for thermally demanding, safety-certified industrial rectification.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for GBPC1502W?
The GBPC1502W has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings table in the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version M2211). This rating enables reliable operation in high-ambient environments when paired with appropriate heatsinking or chassis mounting, and must be respected in thermal design to avoid premature degradation of the glass-passivated junctions.
Does GBPC1502W require an external heatsink for 15A continuous operation?
GBPC1502W does not require an external heatsink for 15A continuous operation if mounted directly to a thermally conductive surface (e.g., metal chassis) via its GBPC-W wire-structure terminals. Its 1.5°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance allows safe operation at TJ ≤ 150°C in ambient temperatures up to 65°C with adequate chassis area - confirmed by thermal derating curves in the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet.
Is GBPC1502W RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, GBPC1502W is RoHS compliant and manufactured with lead-free terminations. The matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability requirements and JESD201 Class 1A whisker resistance standards, as documented in the Taiwan Semiconductor GBPC15/25/35 Series datasheet (Version M2211), page 2.
What does the "W" suffix signify in GBPC1502W?
The "W" suffix in GBPC1502W denotes the GBPC-W package variant - a wire-structured terminal configuration with extended leads optimized for direct screw-mounting to heatsinks or metal enclosures. This differs from the standard GBPC (no suffix) and GBPC-M (terminal cathode parallel to anode) variants, as defined in the ordering information section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet.
How is polarity marked on the GBPC1502W case?
Polarity on GBPC1502W is marked via a channeled corner labeled "–" (cathode indicator) adjacent to the cathode terminal, as shown in the package outline drawing (HQ2SD07-GBPCW-056 REV A) in the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. The marking code "YWWF" appears near this corner, with the cathode terminal electrically connected to the common cathode node of the internal diode bridge.
