Product details
Overview
GBPC1506 from Diodes Incorporated is a 15A glass passivated single-phase bridge rectifier with 600V 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 GBPC1506 datasheet, GBPC1506 pinout, GBPC1506 application, or GBPC1506 equivalent, key selection criteria include thermal resistance (5.0°C/W junction-to-case), case isolation voltage (1500V), and UL recognition (E94661) for safety-critical power conversion designs.
Technical Context
This bridge rectifier integrates four silicon diodes in a single molded plastic package with internally mounted heatsink, configured as a full-wave single-phase topology. It operates under resistive or inductive loads at 60Hz, with derating required for capacitive loads (−20% current).
Thermal performance relies on mechanical mounting via #10 screw to an external heatsink; junction-to-case thermal resistance is specified at 5.0°C/W when properly mounted. Electrical isolation between case and terminals is rated at 1500V, supporting reinforced insulation in mains-connected equipment.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - Maximum peak reverse voltage each diode withstands without breakdown; defines maximum AC input voltage (≈424V RMS) before conduction. |
| IO @ TC = 70°C | 15 A - Average DC output current sustainable with case temperature held at 70°C using heatsink; base rating for continuous operation. |
| IFSM (8.3ms) | 300 A - Single half-sine surge current capability; supports brief inrush events like transformer energization or capacitor charging. |
| VFM @ IF = 7.5A | 1.1 V - Forward voltage drop per diode at half-rated current; determines conduction loss (≈8.25W total for full bridge at 15A DC output). |
| RθJC | 5.0 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; requires heatsink design delivering ≤55°C/W system RθCA to maintain TJ ≤150°C at full load. |
| IR @ 25°C | 5.0 μA - Peak reverse leakage per diode at rated blocking voltage; ensures minimal standby power loss in high-impedance hold circuits. |
| Case Isolation | 1500 V - Dielectric strength between metal base and terminals; satisfies basic insulation requirements for Class I appliances per IEC 60335. |
Pinout & Package
Package: GBPC - molded plastic case with integral heatsink, UL 94V-0 rated, through-hole mount with #10 screw hole (5.08–5.59 mm diameter), weight ≈20 g. Electrically isolated metal base enables direct heatsink attachment while maintaining 1500V case-to-terminal isolation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AC1 / AC2 | AC Input Terminals | Two symmetrical AC inputs accepting single-phase line and neutral; interchangeable polarity for universal AC connection. |
| + | Positive DC Output | Anode of internal bridge's output leg; connects to bulk capacitor positive rail or downstream regulator input. |
| − | Negative DC Output | Cathode of internal bridge's output leg; serves as return path and reference for DC bus; tied to chassis ground in many designs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivated die construction | Enables stable reverse characteristics and low IR drift over temperature and lifetime vs. epoxy-passivated alternatives. |

| Electrically isolated metal base | Allows direct mounting to grounded heatsink without insulating hardware, reducing thermal interface resistance and assembly cost. |
| UL Recognized (E94661) | Satisfies end-equipment safety certification requirements for industrial and appliance applications without additional component-level testing. |
| RoHS-compliant lead finish (Date Code 0514+) | Meets EU Directive 2002/95/EC with applicable exemptions; supports lead-free reflow and wave soldering processes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay GBU15J | Same 15A/600V rating but TO-220AB package; RθJC = 4.0°C/W; no integrated heatsink or screw mount. | Requires external insulator and mounting hardware; better suited for PCB-mounted, lower-power designs (<1 kW). | Select when board space is constrained and heatsinking is managed via PCB copper; avoid where mechanical mounting stability is critical. |
| ON Semiconductor GBPC1506 | Identical electrical specs and GBPC package; differs only in branding and traceability; same UL file E94661 and RoHS compliance. | No functional difference; accepted interchangeably in existing designs certified with Diodes' version. | Valid second-source option with identical form, fit, and function; verify lot traceability requirements with OEM quality team. |

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation of GBPC1506?
The datasheet specifies IO = 15A at TC = 70°C. Operation above this requires linear derating per Figure 1: at TC = 100°C, max IO drops to ~9.5A. Exceeding 150°C junction temperature risks permanent degradation; thermal design must ensure TJ ≤150°C under worst-case ambient and load conditions.
Can GBPC1506 be used with capacitive loads without modification?
No - the datasheet explicitly requires 20% current derating for capacitive loads due to high inrush current. For example, 15A rating becomes 12A maximum. Additional inrush limiting (e.g., NTC thermistor or active soft-start) is recommended to prevent premature failure during repeated cold starts.
Is the metal base electrically connected to any internal terminal?
No - the metal base is fully isolated from all internal terminals (AC1, AC2, +, −) with 1500V dielectric strength. This allows direct mounting to a grounded heatsink without shorting the DC output or AC inputs, simplifying thermal and safety design in Class I equipment.
What does the "W" suffix indicate in GBPC1506W?
The "W" suffix denotes wire-lead termination instead of Faston terminals. GBPC1506W uses tinned copper leads (not solder tabs) for PCB through-hole or chassis wiring. Mechanical dimensions differ slightly (14g vs. 20g), and mounting requires crimped lugs or direct soldering rather than screw terminals.
