Product details
Overview
GBPC1510-E4/51 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a glass passivated single-phase bridge rectifier rated for 15 A average forward current, 1000 V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), and 300 A non-repetitive peak forward surge current (IFSM). It features 1.1 V forward voltage drop at 7.5 A, 5 μA reverse leakage at 25 °C, and operates up to 150 °C junction temperature - deployed in industrial AC/DC power supplies requiring robust surge handling and thermal stability.
For engineers reviewing the GBPC1510-E4/51 datasheet, GBPC1510-E4/51 pinout, GBPC1510-E4/51 application, or GBPC1510-E4/51 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical ratings, mechanical package details, real-world rectification use cases, and validated alternative parts for design-in and BOM continuity planning.
Technical Context
This quad-diode bridge integrates four silicon junctions in a single GBPC package with universal 3-way terminals (snap-on, wire wrap-around, or PCB mount). Its low thermal resistance (1.9 °C/W junction-to-case) and 2500 V RMS isolation support high-reliability operation in mains-connected equipment without external isolation transformers.
The device uses glass passivation for enhanced moisture and contamination resistance, complies with UL 94 V-0 molding compound rating, and meets J-STD-002/JESD 22-B102 solderability standards on nickel-plated faston lugs - enabling direct integration into industrial control panels and appliance power stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 1000 V - supports full-wave rectification of 700 V RMS AC inputs (e.g., 3-phase line-to-line or high-voltage single-phase). |
| IF(AV) | 15 A - delivers continuous DC output current in power supplies up to ~180 W with adequate heatsinking. |
| IFSM | 300 A - withstands 60 Hz half-cycle surges (8.3 ms) during cold-start or capacitor charging without fusing. |
| VF @ IF | 1.1 V @ 7.5 A - limits conduction loss to ≤8.25 W per diode pair under rated load, reducing thermal stress. |
| IR @ VDC | 5 μA @ 25 °C - ensures minimal standby power loss and stable blocking in high-impedance feedback paths. |
| TJ max. | 150 °C - allows operation in enclosed industrial enclosures with ambient temperatures up to 70 °C when mounted on heatsink. |
| VISO | 2500 V RMS - provides reinforced insulation between case and leads for Class I safety-compliant designs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: GBPC - molded plastic case with integrated mounting hole for #10 screw, UL 94 V-0 rated, dimensions 1.135" × 0.732" × 0.470" (28.8 mm × 18.6 mm × 11.9 mm), designed for bolt-down heatsink attachment with thermal compound.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AC1 / AC2 | AC input terminals | Accept bidirectional AC input; symmetric connection enables flexible phase alignment in transformer-coupled or capacitive-input topologies. |
| + | Positive DC output | Marked by beveled corner; connects to bulk capacitor anode or downstream regulator input with low-inductance path. |
| – | Negative DC output / common return | Reference node for entire DC stage; must be tied to chassis ground only if isolation barrier permits. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass passivation | Prevents surface leakage and corrosion under humid or contaminated environments - critical for outdoor or factory-floor power modules. |
| Universal 3-way terminals | Supports snap-on busbar, wire wrap-around, or PCB mounting - eliminates need for custom fixtures in low-volume industrial assembly. |
| Low thermal resistance (1.9 °C/W) | Enables 15 A operation with ≤30 °C temperature rise over heatsink when RthSA ≤ 1.0 °C/W - reduces heatsink mass and cost. |
| UL recognition E54214 | Validates compliance with UL 60747-4 for discrete semiconductors - accelerates end-product safety certification in North America. |
| Solder dip tolerance | Withstands 275 °C for 10 s per JESD 22-B106 - compatible with standard wave-solder and selective reflow processes. |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | Commercial HVAC Power Supplies |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBPC1510W-E4/51 | Wire-lead version (GBPC-W package); same electrical specs but no mounting hole or heatsink interface. | Used where board-level mounting or chassis-free wiring is required; not suitable for bolt-down thermal management. | Select GBPC1510W-E4/51 only when mechanical integration does not require heatsink attachment or when space constraints prevent GBPC footprint use. |
| GBU15J-E4/51 | Same 15 A / 1000 V rating but GBU package (smaller, PCB-mountable, no screw hole); higher RθJC = 2.5 °C/W. | Targeted at compact consumer-grade power supplies; lacks UL recognition and 2500 V isolation. | Choose GBU15J-E4/51 only for space-constrained, non-safety-critical, low-surge applications where thermal margin exceeds 20 °C. |
Compared with GBPC1510-E4/51, GBPC1510W-E4/51 trades mechanical thermal coupling for wiring flexibility, while GBU15J-E4/51 sacrifices isolation, safety certification, and thermal performance for smaller size - making GBPC1510-E4/51 the sole choice for industrial-grade, heatsink-mounted, safety-certified rectification.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for GBPC1510-E4/51 during continuous operation?
The GBPC1510-E4/51 has a maximum junction temperature of 150 °C. When mounted on a heatsink with thermal compound using a #10 screw (per datasheet note 2), the case temperature must remain ≤125 °C to maintain 15 A IF(AV) derating margin. Direct case temperature measurement is recommended, as ambient and heatsink thermal resistance directly impact safe operating limits for GBPC1510-E4/51.
Does GBPC1510-E4/51 support both 50 Hz and 60 Hz AC input frequencies?
Yes, GBPC1510-E4/51 is fully rated for 50 Hz and 60 Hz operation. The IFSM rating of 300 A applies to single half-sine surges at either frequency (8.3 ms for 60 Hz, 10 ms for 50 Hz), and Fig. 1 in the datasheet confirms identical average forward current derating curves across both frequencies - confirming GBPC1510-E4/51 suitability for global mains-powered equipment.
Is GBPC1510-E4/51 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, GBPC1510-E4/51 is RoHS-compliant and lead-free. The "E4" suffix explicitly denotes Vishay's commercial-grade, RoHS-compliant construction per document 88612, with nickel-plated faston lugs and molding compound meeting UL 94 V-0 - verified in the Ordering Information table and Material Categorization section of the GBPC1510-E4/51 datasheet.
Can GBPC1510-E4/51 be used without a heatsink in low-duty-cycle applications?
GBPC1510-E4/51 may operate without a heatsink only at significantly reduced current: ≤3 A IF(AV) at 25 °C ambient, based on RθJA ≈ 40 °C/W (estimated from thermal curves). For any sustained load above 2 A or ambient >40 °C, a heatsink is mandatory - the GBPC package requires bolt-down thermal management per datasheet note 2 to achieve its rated 15 A performance, and GBPC1510-E4/51 must not be assumed self-cooling.
What is the polarity marking convention for GBPC1510-E4/51?
GBPC1510-E4/51 uses a beveled corner to mark the positive (+) DC output terminal. The two AC input terminals (AC1 and AC2) are unmarked and interchangeable; the negative (–) terminal is opposite the beveled corner. This marking is consistent across all GBPC-series devices and is visible on the molded case - critical for correct orientation during PCB layout or busbar installation of GBPC1510-E4/51.
