Product details
Overview
GBPC2502W from Diodes Incorporated is a 200V glass passivated single-phase bridge rectifier in GBPC-W package with wire leads, rated for 25A average output current at 60°C case temperature, 300A non-repetitive surge capability, and 1.1V forward voltage per diode at 12.5A - used in industrial AC/DC power supplies, motor drive front-ends, and welding equipment input stages.
For engineers reviewing the GBPC2502W datasheet, GBPC2502W pinout, GBPC2502W application, or GBPC2502W equivalent, key selection criteria include peak reverse voltage (200V), thermal resistance (1.3°C/W junction-to-case), isolation rating (1500V), RoHS-compliant silver-plated leads, and through-hole mounting with #10 screw interface.
Technical Context
This device integrates four silicon diodes in a single-phase full-wave bridge configuration with glass-passivated die construction to minimize reverse leakage (5.0μA at 25°C) and improve reliability under thermal cycling. Its metal base enables direct heatsink attachment, supporting continuous 25A operation when mounted on a 220×220×50mm aluminum plate.
The GBPC2502W operates across –65°C to +150°C junction temperature range and features UL recognition (E94661), 94V-0 flammability rating, and moisture sensitivity level 1 - confirming suitability for high-reliability industrial environments where isolation, surge immunity, and long-term thermal stability are critical.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBJ2502 | Same 200V/25A rating but GBPC-W footprint replaced by GBJ's compact GBJ package with solder lug terminals. | Requires PCB pad redesign; better suited for chassis-mounted heatsinks with bolt-down terminals. | Select GBJ2502 when mechanical integration favors solder lugs over wire leads and space is constrained. |
| KBPC2502 | Identical electrical specs but uses epoxy-molded case without internal metal heatsink; RθJC = 2.0°C/W. | Limited thermal performance without forced cooling; unsuitable for >15A continuous without oversized heatsink. | Choose KBPC2502 only for cost-sensitive, lower-power applications where thermal headroom exceeds 10°C. |
Compared with GBJ2502 and KBPC2502, GBPC2502W offers superior thermal coupling via its internal metal heatsink and wire-lead flexibility for manual assembly, making it optimal for field-serviceable industrial power modules requiring both reliability and serviceability.

FAQ
What is the maximum case temperature for continuous 25A operation?
The GBPC2502W sustains 25A average output current only when case temperature (TC) is maintained at ≤60°C, as defined in the derating curve. Exceeding this requires proportional current reduction - e.g., 17.5A at TC = 100°C - due to thermal limits of the glass-passivated die and internal heatsink interface.
Can GBPC2502W be mounted directly to a heatsink without insulating hardware?
Yes - the metal base is electrically isolated from all terminals by ≥1500V, allowing direct bolt-down to grounded heatsinks without thermal pads or insulators. Mounting torque must not exceed 8.0 in-lb to avoid case cracking or internal bond damage.
How does the "W" suffix affect mechanical and electrical performance?
The "W" suffix denotes wire leads instead of Faston terminals, reducing mass (14g vs. 20g) and enabling hand-soldering or terminal block connections. Electrical specs, thermal resistance, and voltage ratings remain identical to the non-W variant - only mechanical interface differs.
Is GBPC2502W compliant with modern environmental regulations?
Yes - GBPC2502W carries RoHS compliance per EU Directive 2011/65/EU (Rev. 13.2.2003), with lead-free finish and exemptions applied for glass and high-temperature solder. It also meets JEDEC J-STD-020C moisture sensitivity level 1, eliminating bake requirements prior to assembly.
