Product details
Overview
GBPC5001M from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 50A, 100V standard bridge rectifier in GBPC40-M package with 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 power supplies requiring robust thermal performance and universal mounting.
For engineers reviewing the GBPC5001M datasheet, GBPC5001M pinout, GBPC5001M application, or GBPC5001M equivalent, key selection criteria include repetitive peak reverse voltage (100 V), average forward current (50 A), forward voltage per diode (≤1.1 V at 25 A), thermal resistance (1.5 °C/W), and UL recognition (E-326243) for safety-critical power conversion designs.
Technical Context
The GBPC5001M integrates four silicon diodes in a single-phase full-wave bridge configuration with cathode terminals parallel to anode terminals per the GBPC40-M mechanical layout. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable reverse leakage (<10 µA at 25°C) and high reliability under thermal cycling.
Designed for high-surge environments, it sustains 400 A non-repetitive forward surge current (8.3 ms half-sine) and delivers 664 A²s fusing I²t rating. The molded heatsink structure enables direct heatsink mounting with 20 in-lbs maximum torque and meets UL 94V-0 flammability requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage the device blocks without breakdown; defines usable input AC range in rectifier stage |
| IF(AV) | 50 A - Continuous average forward current capability at case temperature ≤75°C; determines power handling in SMPS front-end |
| IFSM | 400 A - Peak non-repetitive surge current tolerance; supports inrush current during cold-start of industrial power supplies |
| VF per diode | ≤1.1 V at 25 A, 25°C - Forward voltage drop limits conduction loss and thermal rise in high-current rectification |
| RθJC | 1.5 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance enables efficient heat transfer to external heatsink; critical for derating above 75°C |
| IR per diode | ≤10 µA at rated VR, 25°C - Low reverse leakage preserves efficiency in high-impedance hold-up circuits and reduces standby loss |
Pinout & Package
Package: GBPC40-M - Molded plastic case with integral heatsink, matte tin-plated leads, 4-way mounting (snap-on/wrap-around/solder/PCB), cathode terminals parallel to anode, UL 94V-0 compliant, weight ≈17.3 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AC1, AC2 | AC Input Terminals | Accept bidirectional AC input; internally connected to opposite diode anodes and cathodes to form full-wave bridge |
| + (Anode Common) | DC Positive Output | Common anode node of two diodes; delivers rectified positive DC output to filter capacitor or regulator stage |
| – (Cathode Common) | DC Negative Output | Common cathode node of two diodes; serves as return path and system ground reference in isolated DC outputs |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated junction | Enables stable reverse leakage (<10 µA) and long-term reliability under humidity and thermal stress in industrial environments |
| Integral heatsink molding | Reduces RθJC to 1.5 °C/W-supports continuous 50 A operation with minimal external heatsinking in space-constrained enclosures |
| Universal 4-way terminals | Supports snap-on, wrap-around, solder, and PCB-mounting-enables flexible integration across prototyping, low-volume, and high-volume production |
| UL Recognized (E-326243) | Validates compliance with safety standards for end-equipment certification in commercial and industrial power supplies |
Applications
| Industrial AC/DC Power Supplies | Switch-Mode Power Supply (SMPS) Front-End |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay GBPC5001 | Same 50 A / 100 V rating, GBPC40 package (cathode perpendicular to anode), RθJC = 1.6 °C/W, no UL file number listed | Requires different heatsink orientation due to terminal geometry; lacks UL recognition for safety-certified end equipment | Select when mechanical compatibility with legacy GBPC40 footprint is required and UL listing is not mandated |
| ON Semiconductor GBPC5010 | 50 A / 1000 V rating, same GBPC40-M package, identical pinout and thermal specs, UL Recognized File # E239772 | Higher VRRM supports wider input ranges (e.g., 3-phase rectification or 400 VAC systems); otherwise drop-in compatible | Select when future-proofing for higher-voltage inputs or multi-voltage platform designs is needed |
Compared with GBPC5001M, GBPC5001 offers mechanical fit but lacks UL recognition and has marginally higher thermal resistance, while GBPC5010 provides 10× higher VRRM with identical mounting and safety approval-making it suitable for scalable, multi-input designs without layout change.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the GBPC5001M?
The GBPC5001M has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150°C, with storage temperature ranging from –55°C to +150°C. This rating allows reliable operation in high-ambient industrial environments when mounted to an appropriate heatsink and derated per the forward current derating curve shown in the datasheet.
Does the GBPC5001M require a heatsink for 50 A continuous operation?
Yes-the GBPC5001M requires a heatsink for continuous 50 A operation. Its 1.5 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance necessitates external heatsinking to maintain TJ ≤150°C; at 75°C case temperature, the device dissipates ~55 W, demanding ≥1.0 °C/W total system thermal resistance (case-to-ambient).
Is the GBPC5001M RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the GBPC5001M is RoHS compliant and features matte tin-plated leads that are solderable per J-STD-002. It also passes JESD 201 Class 1A whisker testing, confirming suitability for lead-free reflow and long-term reliability in automated assembly processes.
What does the "M" suffix indicate in GBPC5001M?
The "M" suffix in GBPC5001M denotes the GBPC40-M package variant, where cathode terminals are oriented parallel to anode terminals-distinguishing it from the standard GBPC40 package (cathode perpendicular to anode). This affects heatsink mounting orientation and PCB layout but maintains identical electrical ratings and thermal performance.
Can GBPC5001M be used in place of GBPC4001M?
No-GBPC5001M (50 A) and GBPC4001M (40 A) share identical voltage rating (100 V), package (GBPC40-M), and pinout, but differ in forward current capability and thermal design margins. Substituting GBPC5001M for GBPC4001M is acceptable if higher current headroom is needed; however, replacing GBPC5001M with GBPC4001M risks thermal overload at 45–50 A loads.
