Product details

Overview

GBPC1504W from Diodes Incorporated is a 15A glass passivated single-phase bridge rectifier with 400V peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.1V forward voltage at 7.5A per diode, and 300A non-repetitive surge rating - used in AC/DC power supplies for industrial motor drives and HVAC control systems.

For engineers reviewing the GBPC1504W datasheet, GBPC1504W pinout, GBPC1504W application, or GBPC1504W equivalent, key selection factors include thermal resistance (5.0°C/W), case-to-terminal isolation (1500V), UL recognition (E94661), RoHS compliance, and through-hole mounting with #10 screw interface.

Technical Context

This bridge rectifier integrates four silicon junction diodes in a single molded plastic package with internal heatsink, configured as a full-wave single-phase topology. It operates under resistive/inductive loads at 60Hz, with derating required for capacitive loads (−20% current).

Thermal performance relies on direct metal base mounting to an external heatsink; junction-to-case thermal resistance is specified at 5.0°C/W. Electrical isolation between case and terminals is rated at 1500V, supporting safe operation in grounded-chassis industrial equipment.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
VRRM	400 V - Maximum peak reverse voltage each diode withstands without breakdown
IO @ TC=70°C	15 A - Average DC output current sustainable with case temperature held at 70°C
IFSM (8.3ms)	300 A - Single half-sine surge capability, critical for inrush-limited AC input stages
VFM @ IF=7.5A	1.1 V - Forward voltage per diode, directly determining conduction loss (≈1.65W total at 7.5A)
RθJC	5.0 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance, defines minimum heatsink requirement for thermal design
IR @ 25°C	5.0 μA - Reverse leakage per diode at rated blocking voltage, impacts standby power in high-impedance circuits
Case Isolation	1500 V - Dielectric strength between metal base and terminals, enables safe chassis-grounded mounting

Pinout & Package

GBPC1504W uses the GBPC-W package: molded plastic housing with wire leads (not Faston), internally integrated heatsink, UL 94V-0 rated, and designed for through-hole mounting via #10 screw (M5) into a heatsink. Weight: 14 g.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
AC1 / AC2	AC Input Terminals	Two symmetrical AC inputs accepting full-wave bridge input; polarity-insensitive for standard line connection
+	Positive DC Output	Anode-side common output node delivering rectified positive DC voltage to downstream filter and regulation
−	Negative DC Output	Cathode-side common return path; electrically isolated from case but referenced to system ground in typical configurations
Metal Base	Thermal & Mechanical Interface	Electrically isolated conductive surface for heatsink attachment; carries no circuit potential unless externally bonded

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Glass passivated die	Enables stable long-term reverse leakage (<5 μA at 25°C) and improved humidity resistance vs. epoxy-passivated alternatives
300A surge rating	Supports reliable startup in motor-driven loads with high inrush, eliminating need for external NTC or active inrush limiters
1500V case isolation	Permits direct mounting to grounded metal chassis without additional insulating hardware, reducing assembly cost and footprint
UL Recognized (E94661)	Validates safety compliance for end-equipment certification in North America without requiring additional component-level testing
RoHS-compliant lead finish	Meets EU Directive 2002/95/EC with lead-free plating, enabling use in environmentally regulated industrial and consumer products

Applications

Industrial Motor Drives

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
Vishay GBPC1504	Same 400V VRRM, 15A IO, and GBPC package - but uses Faston terminals instead of wire leads; RθJC = 5.5°C/W	Requires crimped Faston connectors rather than soldered wire termination; less suitable for automated wire-wrap or chassis-wire routing	Select when using terminal blocks or quick-connect interfaces; verify mechanical fit and thermal margin due to higher RθJC
ON Semiconductor GBU15J	Lower 15A IO rating at TC=75°C (vs. 70°C for GBPC1504W); same 400V VRRM but TO-247 package with single-sided heatsink interface	Requires different PCB layout and mounting hardware; lacks integrated heatsink and case isolation voltage rating	Choose only if board space constraints prohibit GBPC-W footprint; add external isolation and thermal interface materials

Compared with GBPC1504W, the GBPC1504 offers identical electrical specs but differs in termination and thermal performance, while the GBU15J trades package integration and isolation for smaller footprint - making GBPC1504W optimal for thermally demanding, safety-critical industrial mounts.

FAQ

What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation?

The GBPC1504W is rated for 15A average output current at TC = 70°C. Operation above this temperature requires linear derating per Figure 1 in the datasheet - at TC = 100°C, maximum IO drops to approximately 9.5A. Exceeding the 150°C absolute maximum junction temperature risks permanent parametric shift or failure.

Can GBPC1504W be mounted directly to a grounded metal chassis?

Yes - the device features 1500V case-to-terminal isolation and is UL Recognized (E94661), permitting direct mechanical mounting to a grounded chassis without insulating washers or pads. This configuration leverages the metal base for thermal conduction while maintaining electrical safety compliance.

Is GBPC1504W compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?

No - GBPC1504W is a through-hole device with silver-plated wire leads intended for wave soldering or hand soldering. Its moisture sensitivity level is Level 1 (J-STD-020D), but it is not designed for SMT reflow. Lead-free solder compatibility is confirmed per MIL-STD-202, Method 208, for traditional soldering processes.

How does the "W" suffix affect thermal performance versus the non-W version?

The "W" suffix denotes wire leads (vs. Faston terminals), but both GBPC and GBPC-W share identical die, thermal resistance (RθJC = 5.0°C/W), and heatsink interface. The only differences are termination style and weight (14g vs. 20g); thermal performance remains unchanged when mounted identically on the same heatsink.
