Product details
Overview
GBPC2502W from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 25A, 200V glass-passivated quad bridge rectifier in GBPC-W wire-structure package, featuring 1.5°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, <5µA reverse leakage at 25°C, and 400A peak surge current capability; used in AC-DC converters and switching mode power supplies requiring high reliability and thermal performance.
For engineers reviewing the GBPC2502W datasheet, GBPC2502W pinout, GBPC2502W application, or GBPC2502W equivalent, key selection criteria include rated forward current (25A), repetitive peak reverse voltage (200V), thermal resistance (1.5°C/W), surge rating (400A), and GBPC-W mechanical configuration with integrated heatsink.
Technical Context
This discrete bridge rectifier integrates four silicon diodes in a single-phase full-wave configuration with glass-passivated junctions for enhanced moisture and contamination resistance. Its GBPC-W package features wire-structured terminals and an integrally molded heatsink enabling direct mounting to external heat sinks.
The device operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature range, supports 8.3ms half-sine surge events up to 400A, and maintains ≤1.1V forward voltage drop at rated DC load (25A) and 25°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications

| Repetitive Peak Reverse Voltage (VRRM) | 200 V - suitable for 120/230VAC input with safety margin |
| Peak Forward Surge Current (IFSM) | 400 A (8.3ms) - withstands inrush during cold-start of industrial power supplies |
| Junction-to-Case Thermal Resistance (RθJC) | 1.5 °C/W - enables efficient heat transfer to external heatsink without thermal derating below 25A |
| Reverse Current (IR) | ≤5 µA at 25°C - ensures low standby power loss in energy-sensitive applications |
| Max Junction Temperature (TJ) | +150 °C - allows operation in high-ambient environments such as enclosed power enclosures |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay GBPC2502 | Same 25A/200V rating, GBPC package (not GBPC-W); lacks wire-structure terminals and has higher RθJC (1.7°C/W) | Requires thermal pad or paste for equivalent thermal performance; not drop-in for GBPC-W PCB footprints | Select when legacy GBPC layout exists and heatsink interface allows added thermal interface layer |
| ON Semiconductor GBU25J | 25A/600V GBU package; smaller footprint, higher VRRM, but lower surge rating (350A) and higher RθJC (2.0°C/W) | Better for higher-voltage designs; less suitable for high-surge or thermally constrained layouts | Select when system requires 600V rating and board space is limited, accepting trade-off in surge margin and thermal efficiency |
Compared with GBPC2502 and GBU25J, GBPC2502W offers superior thermal performance (1.5°C/W), optimized mechanical interface for heatsink mounting via GBPC-W wire structure, and best-in-class surge robustness (400A), making it preferred for thermally demanding, high-reliability AC-DC front ends.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for GBPC2502W?
The GBPC2502W has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150°C, allowing reliable operation in enclosed or high-ambient-temperature environments such as industrial power supplies and LED driver housings. This rating is specified across the full operating current range and validated per TSC's absolute maximum ratings table. GBPC2502W must be mounted to an appropriate heatsink to maintain TJ ≤150°C under full 25A load.
Does GBPC2502W have UL recognition and what is the file number?
Yes, GBPC2502W is UL Recognized under file #E-326243, confirming compliance with UL 94V-0 flammability requirements for its molding compound and overall construction. This recognition applies to the entire GBPC15/25/35 series including the GBPC-W variant. GBPC2502W's UL status supports faster end-equipment safety certification for power supplies and industrial controls.
What does the "W" suffix in GBPC2502W indicate?
The "W" suffix in GBPC2502W denotes the GBPC-W package variant, which features wire-structured terminals (as opposed to GBPC-M's parallel terminals or standard GBPC's inline leads). This configuration enables direct bolt-down mounting to external heatsinks and improves mechanical stability in high-vibration environments. GBPC2502W's wire structure is dimensionally defined in TSC drawing HQ2SD07-GBPCW-056 REV A.
What is the forward voltage drop of GBPC2502W at rated current?
GBPC2502W exhibits a maximum forward voltage drop (VF) of 1.1 V per diode at IF = 12.5 A and TJ = 25°C, measured under pulse conditions (PW = 0.3 ms). As a quad bridge, total conduction loss is dominated by two series diodes, resulting in ~2.2 V drop across the bridge at full 25A DC output. This value is confirmed in TSC's Electrical Specifications table on page 2 of M2211.
Is GBPC2502W RoHS compliant and whisker-tested?
Yes, GBPC2502W is RoHS compliant and meets JESD201 Class 1A whisker test requirements. Its matte tin-plated leads are solderable per J-STD-002 and qualified for long-term reliability in thermal cycling applications. These qualifications are documented in the Mechanical Data section of the GBPC15/25/35 datasheet (M2211), ensuring suitability for automotive, telecom, and industrial deployments.
