Product details
Overview
GBPC1510 from Diodes Incorporated is a 15A glass passivated single-phase bridge rectifier with 1000V 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 UPS systems.
For engineers reviewing the GBPC1510 datasheet, GBPC1510 pinout, GBPC1510 application, or GBPC1510 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, enabling direct mounting to external metal heatsinks via #10 screw. Its glass passivated die construction ensures low reverse leakage (5.0μA at 25°C) and stable operation 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 performance relies on mechanical mounting - RθJC is specified only when mounted on a heatsink, not free-air.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 1000 V - Maximum peak reverse voltage the bridge withstands without breakdown during normal operation. |
| IO @ TC=70°C | 15 A - Average rectified output current sustainable at 70°C case temperature with proper heatsinking. |
| VFM @ IF=7.5A | 1.1 V - Forward voltage drop per diode element, directly determining conduction loss in high-current paths. |
| IFSM | 300 A - Non-repetitive surge current capability for 8.3ms half-sine wave, critical for inrush protection. |
| RθJC | 5.0 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance when mounted on heatsink, defining minimum heatsink requirement for thermal design. |
| IR @ 25°C | 5.0 μA - Peak reverse leakage current per element at rated DC blocking voltage, affecting standby power loss. |
| Case Isolation | 1500 V - Dielectric strength between metal base and terminals, required for reinforced insulation in Class I equipment. |
Pinout & Package
Package: GBPC - molded plastic case with integral heatsink, UL 94V-0 rated, through-hole mountable using #10 screw (H = 5.08–5.59 mm hole diameter), weight ≈20 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Applications
| Industrial AC/DC Power Supply | Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary rectification stage handling continuous 15A load with thermal management via chassis-mounted heatsink. Use Value: Low VFM (1.1V) reduces conduction loss by ~16.5W vs. higher-drop alternatives, improving overall efficiency and reducing heatsink size. | Use Scenario: Rectifies utility or generator AC input in line-interactive UPS systems with battery backup and automatic transfer switching. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Front-end bridge delivering clean DC to charging circuitry and inverter stage; must survive frequent surge events during grid transitions. Use Value: 300A IFSM rating ensures reliable operation during 10-cycle surges common during generator synchronization or brownout recovery. |
| Motor Drive Input Stage | Welding Equipment Power Conversion |
Use Scenario: Supplies DC link for 7.5kW three-phase inverter driving induction motors in HVAC and pump applications. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-current AC input rectifier operating continuously at elevated ambient temperatures near enclosure walls. Use Value: RθJC = 5.0°C/W enables direct bolt-down to aluminum chassis, eliminating need for separate heatsink and simplifying mechanical layout. | Use Scenario: Rectifies transformer secondary output in arc welding machines requiring high peak current delivery and thermal resilience. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Handles intermittent 15A average + 300A surge pulses during arc ignition and short-circuit conditions. Use Value: Glass passivation prevents parameter drift under repeated thermal shock, maintaining consistent forward voltage over 10,000+ weld cycles. |
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/1000V rating but TO-247 package; RθJC = 2.5°C/W; no integrated heatsink; requires external insulator. | Preferred where PCB space is constrained and discrete heatsink mounting is already designed. | Select when lower thermal resistance is prioritized and mechanical redesign is acceptable. |
| ON Semiconductor GBPC1510 | Identical electrical specs and GBPC package; minor differences in lead finish and RoHS compliance date code threshold. | Drop-in replacement with identical mounting and thermal interface; validated for same UL file E94661. | Choose for supply chain diversification without design change or requalification. |
Compared with GBU15J, GBPC1510 offers integrated heatsink and simpler mounting but higher RθJC; versus ON's GBPC1510, Diodes' version differs only in traceability and packaging logistics - both meet identical safety and performance requirements.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation?
The GBPC1510 supports continuous operation up to 150°C case temperature, as defined by its TJ, TSTG rating. However, its rated average output current (15A) is specified only at TC = 70°C. Derating is required above that point per Figure 1 - at 100°C case, IO drops to approximately 10.5A.
Can GBPC1510 be mounted directly to a PCB without a heatsink?
No - the GBPC1510 requires mechanical mounting to an external heatsink via its #10 screw hole. Its RθJC = 5.0°C/W is measured only when properly bolted to a heatsink; free-air thermal performance is not characterized, and sustained 15A operation without heatsinking will exceed maximum junction temperature.
Is the metal base electrically connected to any internal terminal?
Yes - the metal base is internally connected to the positive (+) DC output terminal. This configuration provides both thermal conduction and electrical reference; users must ensure the heatsink is either floating or referenced to the + rail, and maintain 1500V isolation from other system potentials.
Does the "W" suffix in GBPC1510W indicate a different electrical specification?
No - GBPC1510W shares identical electrical and thermal specifications with GBPC1510. The "W" denotes wire leads instead of Faston terminals; mechanical mounting remains identical via the same #10 screw hole, and both versions weigh ≈14g (W) vs. ≈20g (standard).
