Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay GBPC3506-E4/51 | Same electrical specs but uses faston lugs instead of wire leads; higher thermal resistance (1.9 °C/W) | Requires snap-on or PCB-mount terminals; less suitable for wire-wrap or dense-layout manual assembly | Select when chassis-mount with screw terminal is preferred over wire-lead routing |
| ON Semiconductor GBPC3506W | Identical pinout and ratings; lacks UL E54214 recognition and RoHS suffix designation in base part number | May require additional safety certification effort in regulated end equipment | Choose only if UL recognition and documented RoHS compliance are not required for target market |
Compared with GBPC3506W-E4/51, the GBPC3506-E4/51 offers lower assembly flexibility due to faston-only termination, while the ON Semiconductor GBPC3506W requires separate verification of UL compliance and RoHS status - making GBPC3506W-E4/51 the preferred choice for certified industrial designs with wire-lead integration needs.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for GBPC3506W-E4/51?
The GBPC3506W-E4/51 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max.) of +150 °C, confirmed in the Vishay datasheet Document Number 88612. This rating allows sustained operation in high-ambient industrial enclosures. Derating begins above 125 °C ambient when mounted on a heatsink with RθSA = 0.5 °C/W. The GBPC3506W-E4/51 maintains specified electrical parameters within this thermal envelope.
Does GBPC3506W-E4/51 support RoHS compliance and what does the "E4" suffix indicate?
Yes, the "E4" suffix in GBPC3506W-E4/51 explicitly denotes Vishay's RoHS-compliant, commercial-grade variant per material categorization document 99912. It confirms lead-free terminations and compliant molding compound. The GBPC3506W-E4/51 meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and is suitable for export to RoHS-regulated markets without further qualification.
What is the isolation voltage rating between case and leads for GBPC3506W-E4/51?
The GBPC3506W-E4/51 provides 2500 V RMS isolation voltage (VISO) between the metal case and all leads, as specified in the Maximum Ratings table of Vishay Document 88612. This rating applies under standard test conditions and supports reinforced insulation in Class I equipment. The GBPC3506W-E4/51 achieves this via UL 94 V-0 mold compound and internal creepage/clearance design.
How does the GBPC3506W-E4/51 differ from the GBPC3506W without the "-E4/51" suffix?
The "-E4/51" suffix identifies the specific tape-and-reel packaging (51 = paper box, 100 units) and RoHS-compliant manufacturing (E4). Electrically and mechanically, GBPC3506W-E4/51 is identical to GBPC3506W, but the full suffix ensures traceable compliance and known packaging format. The GBPC3506W-E4/51 is the orderable part number for certified procurement.
What is the typical forward voltage drop of GBPC3506W-E4/51 at rated current?
The GBPC3506W-E4/51 exhibits a maximum forward voltage drop (VF) of 1.1 V per diode at IF = 17.5 A and TA = 25 °C, per the Electrical Characteristics table. Since the bridge contains two series diodes in conduction path, total drop is ≤2.2 V at full load. This value is critical for calculating conduction losses in the GBPC3506W-E4/51's primary rectification stage.
