Product details
Overview
GBPC1508-E4/51 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a glass passivated single-phase bridge rectifier rated for 15 A average forward current, 800 V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), and 300 A non-repetitive peak forward surge current (IFSM). It features low forward voltage drop (1.1 V at 7.5 A), 5 μA reverse leakage at 25 °C, and operates up to 150 °C junction temperature. It is used in AC/DC full-wave rectification for industrial power supplies and home appliance mains input stages.
For engineers reviewing the GBPC1508-E4/51 datasheet, GBPC1508-E4/51 pinout, GBPC1508-E4/51 application, or GBPC1508-E4/51 equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM rating, thermal resistance (1.9 °C/W junction-to-case), mounting compatibility with #10 screw heatsink interface, and RoHS-compliant commercial-grade construction per E4 suffix.
Technical Context
This device implements a quad-diode configuration in a single-phase bridge topology, delivering full-wave rectification without external diode pairing. Its glass passivation ensures stable reverse blocking performance under humid or contaminated environments, and its universal 3-way terminals support snap-on, wire wrap-around, or PCB mounting.
The GBPC1508-E4/51 is thermally optimized for bolt-down heatsink use with silicone thermal compound (RθJC = 1.9 °C/W), and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability requirements with nickel-plated faston lugs. Its 2500 V RMS isolation voltage supports reinforced insulation in Class II power systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for GBPC1508-E4/51?
The GBPC1508-E4/51 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150 °C. This rating allows sustained operation in high-ambient environments such as enclosed industrial cabinets or hot appliance compartments. Thermal design must ensure that actual junction temperature remains below this limit under worst-case load and ambient conditions, using the specified RθJC = 1.9 °C/W and appropriate heatsink interface.
Does GBPC1508-E4/51 support RoHS compliance?
Yes, GBPC1508-E4/51 is RoHS-compliant, indicated by the "E4" suffix in the part number. It meets the EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements for restriction of hazardous substances, including lead-free terminations and compliant molding compounds. The device is rated for commercial-grade applications and carries UL recognition file E54214.
What mounting methods are supported by GBPC1508-E4/51?
GBPC1508-E4/51 supports three mounting methods: snap-on to standard 0.250" (6.35 mm) faston terminals, wire wrap-around the lugs, or direct PCB mounting via its integrated faston lugs. Mechanical mounting uses a #10 screw with maximum torque of 20 in-lbs. The GBPC-W variant substitutes wire leads for lugs, but GBPC1508-E4/51 itself is the lug-terminal version.
What is the reverse leakage current specification for GBPC1508-E4/51 at elevated temperature?
At 125 °C and rated VDC, GBPC1508-E4/51 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (IR) of 500 μA per diode. This value is significantly higher than the 5 μA maximum at 25 °C, reflecting expected thermal behavior. Designers must verify that this leakage does not compromise downstream circuit functionality-especially in high-impedance bias networks or precision sensing paths.
How does the thermal resistance of GBPC1508-E4/51 affect heatsink selection?
With a junction-to-case thermal resistance (RθJC) of 1.9 °C/W, GBPC1508-E4/51 requires a heatsink whose total thermal resistance (case-to-ambient, including interface compound) keeps the junction below 150 °C. For example, at 15 A and 1.1 V forward drop (16.5 W dissipation), a heatsink with RθCA ≤ 4.8 °C/W is needed assuming 50 °C ambient-making thermal interface quality and mounting pressure critical to performance.
