Product details
Overview
GBPC2501W from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 25A, 100V glass-passivated single-phase bridge rectifier in GBPC-W wire-structure package, featuring 1.1V max forward voltage at 12.5A, <5µA reverse leakage at 25°C, and 300A peak surge current for AC/DC conversion in switching power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the GBPC2501W datasheet, GBPC2501W pinout, GBPC2501W application, or GBPC2501W equivalent, key selection criteria include rated forward current (25A), repetitive peak reverse voltage (100V), thermal resistance (1.5°C/W), and UL recognition (E-326243) for industrial SMPS design.
Technical Context
This quad-diode bridge integrates four silicon junctions in a single molded package with integral heatsink, enabling full-wave rectification of AC input without external diode pairing. Its glass-passivated junctions ensure stable reverse characteristics and low IR drift over temperature.
The GBPC2501W operates within -55°C to +150°C junction range and delivers 300A non-repetitive surge capability under 8.3ms half-sine conditions, supporting robust transient handling in line-powered converters where thermal management and reliability are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Forward Current (IF) | 25 A continuous - supports high-power AC/DC front-end stages without forced air cooling |
| Repetitive Peak Reverse Voltage (VRRM) | 100 V - suitable for 115VAC input with safety margin against line transients |
| Peak Forward Surge Current (IFSM) | 300 A (8.3ms) - withstands inrush currents during cold-start of SMPS |
| Junction-to-Case Thermal Resistance (RθJC) | 1.5 °C/W - enables efficient heat transfer to heatsink, limiting ΔT to 37.5°C at full load |
| Forward Voltage per Diode (VF) | ≤1.1 V at 12.5A - reduces conduction loss to ≤27.5W total for bridge (4×1.1V×12.5A) |
| Reverse Leakage Current (IR) | ≤5 µA at 25°C - ensures minimal standby power loss in offline converters |
| UL Recognition | File #E-326243 - satisfies safety certification requirements for end-equipment compliance |
Pinout & Package
GBPC2501W uses the GBPC-W package: a 4-terminal, wire-structured, molded plastic case with integral heatsink and cathode indicator on chamfered corner. Dimensions: 29.0 × 19.1 × 17.1 mm (L×W×H), weight ≈16.95g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AC1 / AC2 | AC Input Terminals | Accept bidirectional AC input; symmetrical connection allows either terminal as live or neutral entry point |
| + (Anode) | Positive DC Output | Delivers full-wave rectified positive output; marked with "+" symbol adjacent to heatsink mounting surface |
| – (Cathode) | Negative DC Output | Serves as common return path; cathode indicator (chamfered corner) confirms polarity orientation during PCB layout |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated chip junction | Ensures long-term stability of reverse leakage and breakdown voltage across temperature and humidity stress |
| Integrally molded heatsink | Reduces thermal resistance to 1.5°C/W - eliminates need for separate heatsink mounting hardware in medium-power designs |
| UL Recognized (E-326243) | Validates flammability (UL 94V-0), terminal plating (J-STD-002), and whisker resistance (JESD 201 Class 1A) |
| Matte tin-plated leads | Guarantees solderability and intermetallic bond integrity during reflow or wave soldering processes |
Applications
| Switching Mode Power Supply (SMPS) | AC-DC Adapter |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay GBPC2501 | Same 25A/100V rating, GBPC package, but uses GBPC-M (terminal-cathode parallel) configuration instead of GBPC-W wire structure | Requires different PCB footprint and mounting torque (20 in-lbs vs. 15 in-lbs); no heatsink mounting holes | Select GBPC2501W when mechanical integration with heatsink via screw holes is required |
| ON Semiconductor GBU25J | 25A/600V rating, GBU package (smaller, lower thermal mass), RθJC = 2.5°C/W, VF = 1.05V typical | Better suited for higher-voltage inputs (230VAC) but less effective for thermal dissipation in sustained 25A operation | Choose GBPC2501W for 115VAC systems demanding superior thermal performance and UL recognition |
Compared with GBPC2501 and GBU25J, the GBPC2501W offers optimized thermal path via its wire-structured heatsink mount, making it preferred for high-ambient, high-duty-cycle applications where junction temperature control is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for GBPC2501W?
The GBPC2501W has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) of +150°C, with an operating range from -55°C to +150°C. This rating allows reliable operation in high-ambient environments such as enclosed industrial power supplies, provided thermal design maintains junction temperature below this limit using the specified heatsink interface.
Does GBPC2501W require a heatsink for 25A continuous operation?
Yes, GBPC2501W requires mechanical attachment to an external heatsink for 25A continuous operation. Its 1.5°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance assumes direct metal-to-metal contact; without heatsinking, junction temperature would exceed 150°C even at moderate ambient temperatures due to ~27.5W conduction loss.
Is GBPC2501W RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, GBPC2501W is RoHS compliant and features matte tin-plated leads that meet J-STD-002 solderability standards. The molding compound complies with UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and the device passes JESD 201 Class 1A whisker testing - confirming full lead-free process compatibility.
What does the 'W' suffix signify in GBPC2501W?
The 'W' suffix in GBPC2501W denotes the GBPC-W package variant: a wire-structured configuration with mounting holes for direct heatsink attachment. Unlike GBPC-M (terminal-cathode parallel) or standard GBPC, GBPC-W provides mechanical stability and enhanced thermal conduction through screw-mounted heatsink integration.
Can GBPC2501W be used in 230VAC input applications?
No, GBPC2501W is rated for 100V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), making it unsuitable for direct 230VAC rectification, which requires ≥650V VRRM. For 230VAC systems, select GBPC2506W (600V) or GBPC2508W (800V) from the same series to ensure adequate voltage margin and safety compliance.
