Product details

Overview

GBPC1506W 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 GBPC1506W datasheet, GBPC1506W pinout, GBPC1506W application, or GBPC1506W equivalent, key selection criteria include thermal resistance (5.0°C/W), case-to-terminal isolation (1500V), UL recognition (E94661), and wire-lead termination for screw-mount heatsink integration.

Technical Context

This bridge rectifier integrates four silicon diodes in a single molded plastic package with internally mounted heatsink, designed for high-current, high-isolation AC input rectification in off-line power conversion. Its glass passivated die construction ensures low reverse leakage (5.0μA @ 25°C) and stable performance up to 150°C junction temperature.

The device operates under single-phase, half-wave 60Hz conditions with resistive or inductive loads; capacitive loads require 20% current derating. Thermal management relies on direct case-to-heatsink mounting via #10 screw, enabling sustained 15A output at TC = 70°C.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
VRRM	600 V - Maximum peak reverse voltage the bridge withstands without breakdown, defining AC input voltage ceiling (e.g., 420V RMS).
IO @ TC=70°C	15 A - Continuous average DC output current achievable when case temperature is held at 70°C using heatsink.
IFSM	300 A - Single half-sine surge capability (8.3ms), supporting inrush current handling in motor start-up circuits.
VFM @ IF=7.5A	1.1 V - Forward voltage drop per diode leg, directly determining conduction loss (≈16.5W total at full load).
RθJC	5.0 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance, specifying minimum heatsink requirement for thermal stability.
IR @ 25°C	5.0 μA - Reverse leakage per element, critical for low-power standby efficiency and high-impedance sensing interfaces.
Isolation Voltage	1500 V - Dielectric strength between metal base and terminals, enabling safe operation in Class I grounded equipment.

Pinout & Package

Package: GBPC-W - Molded plastic case with internal heatsink and wire leads (not Faston), UL 94V-0 rated, weight ≈14 g, mountable via #10 screw (max torque 8.0 in-lb).

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
AC1	AC Input Terminal	One of two alternating current inputs; connected to line or neutral in single-phase bridge configuration.
AC2	AC Input Terminal	Second AC input; paired with AC1 to form full-wave rectification path across internal diode array.
(+) Output	Positive DC Output	Anode-side common node delivering rectified positive voltage to bulk capacitor or downstream regulator.
(−) Output	Negative DC Output	Cathode-side common node serving as DC return path and system ground reference point.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Glass passivated die	Enables stable reverse leakage (<5μA) and long-term reliability under thermal cycling in industrial environments.
300A surge rating	Supports repeated motor startup events without degradation, eliminating need for external NTC inrush limiters.
1500V case-to-terminal isolation	Meets reinforced insulation requirements for mains-connected equipment per IEC 62368-1 and UL 62368-1.
UL Recognized (E94661)	Validates safety compliance for global OEM certification, reducing end-product qualification time and cost.
Wire-lead termination (W suffix)	Enables secure mechanical attachment to heatsinks via screw mounting, improving thermal contact vs. PCB-only solutions.

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 with solder-tab mounting; RθJC = 4.0°C/W.	Requires PCB soldering instead of screw-mount heatsink; less suitable for high-vibration environments.	Prefer for space-constrained PCB layouts where thermal pad soldering is feasible.
ON Semiconductor GBPC1506	Identical electrical specs, but Faston terminals (no 'W') and heavier 20g GBPC case.	Designed for quick-connect terminal blocks; lacks wire-lead flexibility for custom heatsink wiring.	Choose when using standard DIN-rail terminal blocks and no screw-mount heatsink is needed.

Compared with GBU15J and GBPC1506, GBPC1506W uniquely combines wire-lead termination, UL recognition, and optimized screw-mount thermal interface - making it preferred for ruggedized, field-serviceable industrial power supplies requiring long-term thermal stability and safety certification.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating temperature for GBPC1506W?

The GBPC1506W has an operating junction temperature range of −65°C to +150°C. Its thermal design requires maintaining case temperature ≤70°C to sustain 15A average output current, achieved via screw-mounted heatsink with adequate surface area and thermal interface material.

Does GBPC1506W require a heatsink for 15A operation?

Yes - the 15A rating is specified at TC = 70°C, meaning a heatsink must be used. With RθJC = 5.0°C/W and typical ambient temperatures, a minimum heatsink thermal resistance of ~10°C/W (including interface resistance) is required to prevent junction overheating under continuous load.

How does the 'W' suffix affect mounting and thermal performance?

'W' denotes wire-lead termination, enabling direct screw-mounting to a metal heatsink using a #10 screw. This provides superior thermal contact versus PCB-trace conduction, lowering effective RθJA and allowing higher sustained current in confined enclosures compared to Faston-terminal variants.

Is GBPC1506W compliant with RoHS and REACH regulations?

Yes - GBPC1506W features lead-free finish and is RoHS compliant (per EU Directive 2002/95/EC) for date codes 0514 and later. It also meets REACH SVHC requirements, with full compliance documentation available through Diodes Incorporated's quality portal.
