Product details
Overview
GBPC1510W from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 15A, 1000V glass-passivated quad bridge rectifier in GBPC-W wire-structure package, with typical forward voltage of 1.1V at 7.5A and reverse current under 5µA at rated voltage - used in high-reliability AC/DC converters and switching power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the GBPC1510W datasheet, GBPC1510W pinout, GBPC1510W application, or GBPC1510W equivalent, key selection factors include peak repetitive reverse voltage (1000V), surge current rating (300A), junction-to-case thermal resistance (1.5°C/W), and UL recognition (E-326243) for industrial SMPS designs.
Technical Context
This discrete bridge rectifier integrates four silicon diodes in a single molded package with integral heatsink, enabling efficient AC-to-DC conversion in off-line power supplies. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage performance across temperature, while the GBPC-W variant features wire-terminated leads optimized for through-hole mounting with mechanical strain relief.
The device operates over –55°C to +150°C junction temperature range and supports 8.3ms non-repetitive surge currents up to 300A. Thermal resistance of 1.5°C/W allows direct heatsink attachment via the metal baseplate, critical for continuous 15A conduction in compact industrial power modules.

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 GBPC package, identical 15A/1000V ratings, but GBPC1510 uses standard leadframe (not wire-structure); RθJC = 1.6°C/W | No heatsink mounting hole alignment difference, but slightly higher thermal resistance affects derating above 75°C ambient | Preferred where PCB layout uses standard GBPC footprint and heatsink interface is less constrained |
| ON Semiconductor GBU15J | GBU package (smaller, 22.5 × 18.5 × 14.5 mm), same 15A/1000V rating, but IFSM = 250A and RθJC = 2.0°C/W | Lower surge margin and higher thermal resistance limit use in high-transient industrial environments | Suitable for cost-sensitive consumer-grade SMPS where size reduction outweighs surge and thermal headroom needs |
Compared with GBPC1510W, the Vishay GBPC1510 offers near-identical performance with minor thermal trade-offs, while the ON Semi GBU15J sacrifices surge robustness and thermal efficiency for smaller footprint - making GBPC1510W optimal for demanding industrial AC/DC front-ends requiring UL recognition and proven heatsink integration.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for GBPC1510W?
The GBPC1510W has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max) of +150°C, verified per TSC's M2211 datasheet revision. This rating defines the upper thermal limit for reliable operation and must be respected in thermal design - especially when using the integral heatsink baseplate. Derating curves in the datasheet show usable current drops linearly above 75°C case temperature. GBPC1510W maintains full 15A rating only when case temperature remains ≤75°C.
Does GBPC1510W have UL recognition, and what is the file number?
Yes, GBPC1510W is UL Recognized under file #E-326243, as confirmed in the "Features" section of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version M2211). This certification applies to the entire GBPC15/25/35 series including the GBPC-W variant. UL recognition validates construction, flammability (UL 94V-0), and electrical safety for use in end-equipment requiring regulatory approval.
What is the forward voltage specification for GBPC1510W, and under what test conditions?
The GBPC1510W has a maximum forward voltage (VF) of 1.1 V per diode, measured at IF = 7.5 A, TJ = 25°C, with 0.3 ms pulse width (per datasheet Note 1). This value reflects conduction loss under typical half-load condition and directly impacts power supply efficiency. At higher junction temperatures or lower currents, VF decreases slightly - e.g., ~0.95 V at TJ = 125°C and IF = 7.5 A.
How does the GBPC-W package differ mechanically from GBPC-M or standard GBPC?
The GBPC-W package uses wire-structured leads instead of flat stamped terminals (GBPC-M) or standard leads (GBPC), providing enhanced mechanical strain relief and improved solder joint reliability in vibration-prone environments. Its outline dimensions match other GBPC variants (29.0 × 19.1 × 17.6 mm), but lead geometry and mounting torque spec (20 in-lbs max) are unique to GBPC-W. Polarity marking and cathode indicator remain consistent across all variants.
Is GBPC1510W RoHS compliant and qualified for whisker resistance?
Yes, GBPC1510W is RoHS compliant and meets JESD201 Class 1A whisker testing requirements, as stated in the Mechanical Data section of the M2211 datasheet. The matte tin-plated leads are solderable per J-STD-002 and certified for long-term reliability in high-humidity or high-temperature storage conditions - critical for automotive and industrial applications where tin whisker growth could cause latent field failures.
