Product details
Overview
GBPC1510M from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 15A, 1000V glass-passivated single-phase bridge rectifier in GBPC-M package with integral heatsink, 1.5°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, and <5µA reverse leakage at 25°C - used in high-reliability AC-DC converters and SMPS front-end rectification.
For engineers reviewing the GBPC1510M datasheet, GBPC1510M pinout, GBPC1510M application, or GBPC1510M equivalent, key selection criteria include peak repetitive reverse voltage (1000V), average forward current (15A), surge capability (300A @ 8.3ms), thermal performance (RθJC = 1.5°C/W), and GBPC-M terminal orientation for heatsink mounting.
Technical Context
This discrete bridge rectifier integrates four silicon diodes in a single quad configuration with glass-passivated junctions for enhanced moisture and contamination resistance. Its GBPC-M mechanical variant features cathode terminals parallel to anode terminals, enabling direct heatsink mounting via two M4 screw holes aligned with the molded heatsink base.
Designed for line-frequency and high-surge industrial power conversion, it operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature range and meets UL 94V-0 flammability and JESD201 Class 1A whisker requirements. The 1.1V typical forward voltage per diode is specified at rated half-current (7.5A) and 25°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 1000 V - supports full-wave rectification of 707V RMS AC input without breakdown |
| IF(AV) | 15 A - continuous DC output current capability under heatsink-cooled conditions |
| IFSM | 300 A - withstands 8.3ms half-sine surge, critical for inrush-limited SMPS startup |
| RθJC | 1.5 °C/W - enables efficient heat transfer to external heatsink, limiting ΔT to 22.5°C at 15A |
| VF (per diode) | ≤1.1 V - measured at 7.5A, 25°C; determines conduction loss and thermal load in rectifier stage |
| IR | <5 µA - low leakage ensures minimal standby power loss and stable DC bus hold-up |
| TJ(max) | +150 °C - allows operation in enclosed, high-ambient industrial enclosures |
Pinout & Package
GBPC1510M uses the GBPC-M package: a molded plastic case with integral heatsink base, matte tin-plated leads, and cathode terminals oriented parallel to anode terminals for planar heatsink mounting. Mounting torque ≤20 in-lbs; weight ≈16.95g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AC1, AC2 | AC Input Terminals | Accept bidirectional AC input; internally connected to opposite diode anodes/cathodes for full-wave bridge action |
| + | DC Positive Output | Anode-side common node of two diodes; delivers rectified positive DC voltage to filter capacitor |
| – | DC Negative Output / Common Return | Cathode-side common node of two diodes; serves as system ground reference and return path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay GBPC1510 | Same 15A/1000V rating, GBPC-W package (cathode perpendicular to anode); RθJC = 1.7°C/W | Requires reoriented heatsink mounting; slightly higher thermal resistance reduces margin at 15A continuous | Acceptable where board layout accommodates GBPC-W footprint and thermal headroom ≥25°C exists |
| ON Semiconductor GBU15J | 15A/600V rating, GBU package (smaller, no integral heatsink); RθJC = 3.0°C/W; requires external heatsink | Lacks integrated heatsink; unsuitable for space-constrained 1000V designs without added thermal mass | Only viable if VRRM requirement reduced to ≤600V and PCB area permits discrete heatsink attachment |
Compared with GBPC1510M, GBPC1510 offers identical electrical specs but less optimal thermal mounting, while GBU15J sacrifices 400V reverse rating and requires external thermal management - making GBPC1510M the only option meeting 1000V, 15A, and integrated-heatsink requirements simultaneously.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for GBPC1510M?
The GBPC1510M has a maximum junction temperature (TJ(max)) of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings table in the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version M2211). This rating allows reliable operation in sealed industrial enclosures where ambient temperatures reach +85°C, provided thermal design maintains junction rise within limit. Derating curves confirm usable current down to zero at 150°C case temperature.
Does GBPC1510M have UL recognition?
Yes, GBPC1510M is UL Recognized under File # E-326243, as stated in the "Features" section of the Taiwan Semiconductor GBPC15/25/35 Series datasheet (Version M2211). This applies to the entire GBPC-M variant family and confirms compliance with UL 60950-1 and UL 62368-1 for end-equipment safety certification.
What is the forward voltage drop specification for GBPC1510M?
The GBPC1510M has a maximum forward voltage drop (VF) of 1.1 V per diode, measured at IF = 7.5 A and TJ = 25°C using a 0.3 ms pulse test. This value reflects conduction loss in one diode leg; total bridge drop is ~2.2 V under balanced load, directly impacting efficiency and thermal design in high-current applications.
How is the polarity marked on GBPC1510M?
GBPC1510M uses a channeled corner and cathode indicator on the molded case per the GBPC-M package drawing (HQ2SD07-GBPCM-055 REV A). The cathode terminals (+) are marked with a distinct chamfered corner adjacent to the "+" symbol printed on the body; the AC terminals are unmarked but located diagonally opposite the "+" and "–" outputs.
What packaging format is used for GBPC1510M shipments?
GBPC1510M is supplied in trays containing 50 units per tray, as specified in the "Ordering Information" section of the Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version M2211). The part number suffix "M" explicitly denotes the GBPC-M mechanical variant, and tray packaging supports automated SMT placement when used with compatible pick-and-place feeders and vacuum nozzles.
