Product details
Overview
GBPC5002M from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 50A, 200V 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 mode power supplies requiring high-reliability rectification.
For engineers reviewing the GBPC5002M datasheet, GBPC5002M pinout, GBPC5002M application, or GBPC5002M equivalent, key selection factors include its 200V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 50A average forward current, quad-diode configuration, matte tin-plated terminals compliant with J-STD-002, and UL Recognized status (E-326243).
Technical Context
This discrete bridge rectifier integrates four silicon diodes in a single molded case with integral heatsink for low thermal resistance. Its quad configuration provides full-wave rectification without external wiring, and the GBPC40-M variant features cathode terminals parallel to anode terminals for PCB-mount compatibility.
Rated for 150°C maximum junction temperature and -55°C to +150°C storage, it supports high-surge environments with 400A IFSM (8.3ms half-sine) and 664 A²s fusing rating. The device meets JESD201 Class 1A whisker resistance and UL 94V-0 flammability requirements.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay GBPC502 | Same 50A/200V rating, but GBPC502 uses GBPC40 (non-M) package with perpendicular cathode/anode orientation | Requires PCB layout revision due to terminal alignment difference; identical thermal and electrical specs | Select GBPC502 only if existing footprint matches GBPC40 outline and heatsink mounting permits perpendicular terminals |
| ON Semiconductor GBPC502M | Identical GBPC40-M package and pinout; VF = 1.15V max (vs. 1.1V for GBPC5002M), IFSM = 375A (vs. 400A) | Suitable for same applications but with slightly reduced surge margin and higher conduction loss | Prefer GBPC5002M where 400A surge headroom or lowest VF is critical; GBPC502M acceptable for cost-sensitive, lower-stress deployments |
Compared with Vishay GBPC502 and ON Semi GBPC502M, GBPC5002M offers superior surge robustness (400A vs. 375A/-) and tighter forward voltage (1.1V vs. 1.15V/1.1V), while maintaining identical GBPC40-M mechanical compatibility-making it optimal for high-reliability, thermally constrained AC-DC front ends.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for GBPC5002M?
The GBPC5002M has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150°C, with a storage temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. This allows operation in high-ambient environments typical of enclosed power supplies and industrial enclosures, provided thermal design maintains junction temperature within this limit using the specified RθJC of 1.5°C/W.
Does GBPC5002M meet RoHS and lead-free soldering requirements?
Yes, GBPC5002M is RoHS compliant and features matte tin-plated leads qualified per J-STD-002 for solderability. It also passes JESD201 Class 1A whisker testing, ensuring reliability during reflow and long-term operation without tin whisker formation-a requirement for automotive-adjacent and high-reliability industrial applications.
What does the "M" suffix indicate in GBPC5002M?
The "M" suffix in GBPC5002M denotes the GBPC40-M package variant, where cathode terminals are oriented parallel to anode terminals-distinct from the standard GBPC40 package with perpendicular orientation. This enables direct compatibility with PCB footprints designed for the GBPC40-M mechanical outline and mounting geometry.
How is the polarity marked on GBPC5002M?
GBPC5002M uses a channeled corner and cathode indicator marking on the molded case to identify the cathode (–) terminal. The AC input terminals are unmarked and symmetrical; the + terminal is the anode output. Polarity must be verified visually per the marking diagram in TSC document G2211, as incorrect orientation causes immediate circuit failure.
What is the I²t rating for GBPC5002M, and why does it matter?
The GBPC5002M has an I²t rating of 664 A²s for fusing under t < 8.3 ms. This value quantifies its ability to survive short-duration overcurrent events like AC line surges or capacitor inrush without thermal runaway. Designers use it to coordinate upstream fuse selection-ensuring the fuse clears before the GBPC5002M reaches destructive energy levels.
