Product details
Overview
GBPC2502W-E4/51 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a glass passivated single-phase bridge rectifier with 25 A average forward current, 200 V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), and 300 A non-repetitive peak surge current (IFSM). It features wire-lead terminals (suffix "W"), 1.1 V forward voltage at rated current, and operates up to 150 °C junction temperature. It is used in AC/DC full-wave rectification for industrial power supplies and home appliance mains input stages.
For engineers reviewing the GBPC2502W-E4/51 datasheet, GBPC2502W-E4/51 pinout, GBPC2502W-E4/51 application, or GBPC2502W-E4/51 equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM rating, thermal resistance (RθJC = 1.9 °C/W), lead termination type (wire leads), surge capability (IFSM = 300 A), and UL E54214 recognition for safety compliance.
Technical Context
This device implements a quad-diode configuration in a single-phase bridge topology, enabling full-wave rectification of AC input without external diode interconnection. Its glass passivation ensures stable reverse leakage (<5 μA at 25 °C) and robustness against humidity and contamination.
Thermally, it is designed for bolt-down mounting on heatsinks using #10 screws (max 20 in-lbs torque) with silicone thermal compound-critical for sustaining 25 A continuous output under industrial ambient conditions. The GBPC-W package uses silver-plated wire leads compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 solderability standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - Withstands peak reverse voltage in 140 V RMS AC line applications without breakdown. |
| IF(AV) | 25 A - Sustains continuous average forward current in high-power linear or capacitive-input power supplies. |
| IFSM | 300 A - Handles single half-cycle surges (e.g., cold-start inrush into bulk capacitors) without fuse failure. |
| VF at IF | 1.1 V at 12.5 A - Low conduction loss per diode pair, minimizing heat generation at full load. |
| IR | 5 μA at 25 °C - Ensures minimal reverse power loss and stable DC bus hold-up in standby modes. |
| TJ max. | 150 °C - Enables operation in enclosed industrial enclosures with limited airflow and elevated ambient temperatures. |
| RθJC | 1.9 °C/W - Requires heatsink interface with low thermal resistance to maintain safe junction temperature at full load. |
Pinout & Package
Package: GBPC-W - Insulated plastic case with four silver-plated wire leads (AC1, AC2, +, –), UL 94 V-0 rated molding compound, and mounting hole for #10 screw. Dimensions: 1.135 × 0.732 × 0.470 inches (28.8 × 18.6 × 11.9 mm).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AC1 | AC Input Terminal 1 | One leg of AC input; connects to transformer secondary or line filter output. |
| AC2 | AC Input Terminal 2 | Second leg of AC input; completes full-wave bridge input path. |
| + | Positive DC Output | Rectified anode-side output; feeds bulk capacitor or downstream regulator. |
| – | Negative DC Output / Common Return | Cathode-side return path; establishes DC reference for entire system ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| UL recognition file E54214 | Validates safety compliance for end-equipment certification in North America without additional component-level testing. |
| Universal 3-way terminals | Wire leads support PCB through-hole, wire-wrap, or snap-on mounting-enabling flexible integration across prototyping and production. |
| Typical IR < 0.3 μA | Ensures negligible reverse leakage in high-impedance hold-up circuits, preserving energy during standby. |
| High IFSM (300 A) | Eliminates need for external NTC thermistors or inrush limiters in 25 A-rated power supplies. |
| Solder dip 275 °C / 10 s | Withstands standard wave-soldering profiles without delamination or terminal detachment. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBPC2502-E4/51 | Same electrical specs but uses faston lugs instead of wire leads; RθJC identical; same GBPC package outline except terminal style. | Designed for snap-on heatsink mounting or PCB edge-mounting; not suitable for wire-wrap or chassis-mounted wiring. | Select when mechanical integration requires faston lugs or direct PCB edge contact rather than discrete wire routing. |
| GBU25J-E4/51 | Lower IFSM (200 A vs. 300 A); same VRRM (200 V), IF(AV) (25 A), VF (1.1 V); GBU package has lower profile (10.2 mm height vs. 11.9 mm) and no mounting hole. | Lacks bolt-down mounting option and UL E54214 recognition; intended for space-constrained consumer-grade designs. | Choose only if board height is critical and surge margin can be reduced; verify thermal performance without heatsink bolt-down. |
Compared with GBPC2502W-E4/51, the GBPC2502-E4/51 offers identical performance in a faston-terminal variant for different mechanical integration, while the GBU25J-E4/51 trades surge robustness and safety certification for reduced height-making it unsuitable for industrial mains input where IFSM margin and UL listing are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for GBPC2502W-E4/51?
The GBPC2502W-E4/51 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max.) of 150 °C, verified per Vishay Document Number 88612. This allows sustained operation in industrial enclosures with ambient temperatures up to 70 °C when properly heatsinked. Derating curves in Figure 2 confirm 25 A IF(AV) is maintainable at case temperatures ≤100 °C with appropriate thermal management.
Does GBPC2502W-E4/51 have UL safety certification?
Yes, GBPC2502W-E4/51 carries UL recognition under file number E54214, as stated in the Vishay datasheet (Document Number 88612, Revision 30-Nov-2021). This certification covers flammability (UL 94 V-0), construction, and electrical safety for use in end equipment seeking UL/CSA approval.
What is the forward voltage drop of GBPC2502W-E4/51 at rated current?
The GBPC2502W-E4/51 exhibits a maximum forward voltage drop (VF) of 1.1 V per diode at IF = 12.5 A (half-bridge conduction), resulting in ~2.2 V total drop across the conducting path. This value is measured at TA = 25 °C and is critical for calculating conduction losses and thermal design in 25 A power supplies.
How does the "W" suffix in GBPC2502W-E4/51 affect mounting?
The "W" suffix indicates wire-lead termination-four insulated silver-plated leads (AC1, AC2, +, –) designed for through-hole PCB mounting, wire wrapping, or chassis connection. Unlike the non-W GBPC2502-E4/51 (faston lugs), GBPC2502W-E4/51 lacks snap-on capability but enables flexible point-to-point wiring and field serviceability.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case (RθJC) for GBPC2502W-E4/51?
The GBPC2502W-E4/51 has a typical thermal resistance RθJC of 1.9 °C/W, as specified in the Thermal Characteristics table of Vishay Document Number 88612. This value assumes bolt-down mounting with silicone thermal compound on a #10 screw-essential for achieving rated 25 A current in continuous operation.
