Product details
Overview
GBPC1506M from Taiwan Semiconductor is a glass-passivated quad-configuration standard bridge rectifier rated for 15A average forward current, 600V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), and 300A non-repetitive surge current (IFSM), used in AC-to-DC conversion stages of industrial power supplies and switching mode power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the GBPC1506M datasheet, GBPC1506M pinout, GBPC1506M application, or GBPC1506M equivalent, key selection factors include thermal resistance (1.5°C/W), low reverse leakage (<5µA at rated VR), UL recognition (E-326243), RoHS compliance, and GBPC-M package mounting compatibility with heatsink interfaces.
Technical Context
This device integrates four diodes in a single-phase full-wave bridge configuration with glass-passivated junctions for enhanced reliability under high-voltage transients. Its GBPC-M package features terminal cathode parallel to anode and matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability.
Thermal performance is optimized via integrally molded heatsink structure achieving 1.5°C/W junction-to-case resistance. The device operates across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range and meets JESD201 Class 1A whisker resistance and UL 94V-0 flammability standards.
Key Specifications

| IF(AV) | 15 A - continuous average forward current per device at TC = 100°C |
| IFSM | 300 A - peak non-repetitive surge current for 8.3 ms half-sine wave |
| RθJC | 1.5 °C/W - thermal resistance from junction to case, critical for heatsink sizing |
| VF (per diode) | 1.1 V max at IF = 7.5 A, TJ = 25°C - forward voltage drop impacting conduction loss |
| IR | 5 µA max at rated VR, TJ = 25°C - reverse leakage affecting standby power and isolation |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBU1506 | Same 15A/600V rating but GBU package (lower thermal resistance: 1.2°C/W); no UL recognition | Preferred where higher thermal performance is critical and UL certification not required | Select GBPC1506M when UL recognition and integrated heatsink mounting are mandatory |
| KBP1506 | Identical electrical specs; KBP package has different leadform (in-line) and higher RθJC (2.0°C/W) | Suitable for PCB-mount applications without bolted heatsinks | Choose GBPC1506M for chassis-mounted, heatsink-coupled deployments requiring mechanical robustness |
Compared with GBU1506 and KBP1506, GBPC1506M uniquely combines UL recognition, GBPC-M mechanical interface for direct heatsink mounting, and 1.5°C/W thermal resistance-making it optimal for certified, thermally demanding industrial AC/DC front-ends.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for GBPC1506M?
The GBPC1506M has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings table. This allows operation in high-ambient environments such as enclosed industrial power supplies. Derating curves confirm usable 15 A average current up to case temperatures of 100°C. Thermal design must maintain TJ ≤ 150°C under worst-case load and ambient conditions.
Does GBPC1506M have UL recognition and what is the file number?
Yes, GBPC1506M is UL Recognized under File #E-326243, as stated in the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. This certification applies to the GBPC15, 25, 35 series including the M-suffix variants. UL recognition covers dielectric strength, flammability (UL 94V-0), and construction compliance-critical for end-equipment safety approvals.
What does the "M" suffix indicate in GBPC1506M?
The "M" suffix in GBPC1506M denotes the GBPC-M package variant, characterized by terminal cathode parallel to anode orientation and optimized for direct bolt-down heatsink mounting. It differs from GBPC-W (wire leads) and standard GBPC (generic outline). Mechanical drawings confirm 4× Ø5.59 mm mounting holes and heatsink-integrated body specific to the M variant.
What is the forward voltage drop specification for GBPC1506M at rated current?
GBPC1506M specifies a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 1.1 V per diode at IF = 7.5 A and TJ = 25°C, per electrical specifications table. Since it is a full-wave bridge, total conduction drop across conducting path is ~2.2 V at this condition. VF increases with temperature and current-designers should reference Fig.4 (Typical Forward Characteristics) for derated values at higher TJ or IF.
Is GBPC1506M RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, GBPC1506M is RoHS compliant, as explicitly stated in the "Features" section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet. Terminal plating is matte tin, and all materials meet EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements. No lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE substances exceed threshold limits. Compliance is verified per manufacturer's material declarations.
