Product details
Overview
GBPC5001 from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 50A, 100V standard bridge rectifier in GBPC40 package with quad configuration, glass-passivated junctions, 400A peak surge current rating, and 1.5°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance-used in AC-DC converters and switching mode power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the GBPC5001 datasheet, GBPC5001 pinout, GBPC5001 application, or GBPC5001 equivalent, key selection factors include forward voltage (≤1.1 V at 25 A), reverse leakage (≤10 µA at rated VR), thermal performance, mounting flexibility (snap-on/wrap-around/solder/PCB), and UL recognition (E-326243).
Technical Context
This discrete bridge rectifier integrates four silicon diodes in a single molded case with common cathode and anode terminals. It operates across -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range and supports 8.3 ms half-sine surge currents up to 400 A.
The GBPC5001 uses matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability and JESD201 Class 1A whisker testing. Its GBPC40 package features UL 94V-0 molding compound and integral heatsink for low thermal resistance (1.5°C/W).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Forward Current (IF) | 50 A average - supports high-power AC-DC conversion without forced cooling at moderate ambient temperatures |
| Repetitive Peak Reverse Voltage (VRRM) | 100 V - suitable for 120 VAC input systems with safety margin |
| Peak Forward Surge Current (IFSM) | 400 A (8.3 ms) - withstands inrush during cold-start of SMPS |
| Junction-to-Case Thermal Resistance (RθJC) | 1.5 °C/W - enables efficient heat transfer to external heatsink |
| Forward Voltage per Diode (VF) | ≤1.1 V at 25 A, 25°C - limits conduction loss to ≤2.2 W total for bridge |
| Reverse Leakage Current (IR) | ≤10 µA at rated VR, 25°C - ensures minimal standby power loss |
| Operating Junction Temperature (TJ) | -55°C to +150°C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature environments |

| – | DC Output Cathode | Common cathode node; referenced as system ground or return path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated chip junction | Enhances long-term reliability and moisture resistance under thermal cycling and humid conditions |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay GBPC5010 | Same 50 A / 1000 V rating but higher VRRM; VF = 1.2 V max at 25 A; RθJC = 1.7°C/W | Better suited for 230 VAC+ systems; slightly higher conduction loss and thermal resistance | Select GBPC5010 only if >600 V reverse blocking is required; GBPC5001 preferred for 120 VAC with tighter thermal budget |
| ON Semiconductor GBPC5005 | 50 A / 50 V rating; VF = 1.05 V max; same package and thermal specs | Limited to low-voltage AC inputs (e.g., 36 VAC control transformers) | Use GBPC5005 where input voltage is ≤50 V peak; GBPC5001 required for 120 VAC compatibility |
Compared with GBPC5010 and GBPC5005, the GBPC5001 uniquely balances 100 V reverse rating, 1.1 V VF, and 1.5°C/W thermal resistance-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained 120 VAC industrial power supplies.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for GBPC5001?
The GBPC5001 has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150°C, with a minimum of -55°C. This wide operating range allows deployment in industrial enclosures and outdoor-rated equipment without active cooling, provided thermal design respects the 1.5°C/W junction-to-case resistance and heatsink interface conditions specified in the datasheet.
Does GBPC5001 support PCB mounting?
Yes, GBPC5001 supports PCB mounting via its four terminals-AC1, AC2, +, and –-which are compatible with through-hole soldering. The GBPC40 package includes lead spacing and footprint dimensions validated for standard PCB layouts, and the matte tin plating meets J-STD-002 solderability requirements for reliable reflow and wave soldering processes.
What is the forward voltage drop of GBPC5001 at rated current?
The GBPC5001 exhibits a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.1 V per diode at 25 A and 25°C junction temperature. Since it is a full-wave bridge, the total conduction path includes two series diodes, resulting in ≤2.2 V drop across the device at full rated DC output current-directly impacting conduction loss and thermal design.
Is GBPC5001 RoHS compliant and UL recognized?
Yes, GBPC5001 is RoHS compliant and UL Recognized under File # E-326243. These certifications confirm compliance with environmental directives and North American safety standards, enabling use in end products requiring regulatory approval-including industrial controls, medical peripherals, and commercial power adapters.
How does the GBPC5001 differ from GBPC4001?
The GBPC5001 is rated for 50 A average forward current, while GBPC4001 is rated for 40 A. Both share identical GBPC40 packaging, thermal resistance (1.5°C/W), and voltage ratings (100 V VRRM), but GBPC5001 supports higher continuous load current-making it suitable for upgraded power stages where 40 A headroom is insufficient, without changing PCB layout or heatsink.
