Product details
Overview
VS-GBPC2510W from Vishay Semiconductors is a single-phase bridge rectifier with 25 A average DC output current, 1000 V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), and glass-passivated diode chips in an electrically insulated, high-thermal-conductivity GBPC package. It delivers reliable AC-to-DC conversion in industrial power supplies and instrumentation front-end stages.
For engineers reviewing the VS-GBPC2510W datasheet, VS-GBPC2510W pinout, VS-GBPC2510W application, or VS-GBPC2510W equivalent, key selection factors include its 1.7 K/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, UL E300359 approval, wire-lead terminal configuration, and 28.55 mm × 17.9 mm × 14.2 mm footprint for heatsink-mounted deployment.
Technical Context
This device implements a full-wave single-phase bridge topology using four glass-passivated silicon diodes integrated into a molded plastic case with electrically isolated baseplate. Its thermal design supports continuous operation at up to 60 °C case temperature under 25 A resistive/inductive load conditions.
The VS-GBPC2510W features nickel-plated wire-lead terminals compatible with Pb-free SAC305 solder (260–275 °C), center-hole mechanical mounting, and a rated RMS isolation voltage of 2700 V between baseplate and terminals - enabling safe use in grounded-chassis AC line inputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| IO | 25 A average DC output current at TC = 60 °C - defines continuous power delivery capability under standard heatsink conditions |
| VRRM | 1000 V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage - sets AC input voltage limit before breakdown risk |
| IFSM | 400 A non-repetitive surge current (10 ms, 50 Hz) - determines short-circuit withstand during startup or fault |
| RthJC | 1.7 K/W junction-to-case thermal resistance - quantifies heat transfer efficiency to external heatsink |
| VF | 1.1 V maximum forward voltage drop at TJ = 25 °C and IFM = IF(AV) - directly impacts conduction loss and thermal load |
| VINS | 2700 V RMS isolation voltage (50 Hz, 1 s) - ensures safety compliance for Class I AC mains interfaces |
| TJ Range | −55 °C to +150 °C operating junction temperature - enables deployment in extended industrial environments |
Pinout & Package
The VS-GBPC2510W uses the GBPC...W package: a compact, rectangular, electrically insulated plastic housing (28.55 mm × 17.9 mm × 14.2 mm) with four tinned copper wire leads (AC1, AC2, (+), (−)) and a metal baseplate for heatsink mounting. Center hole (Ø 2.4 mm) enables mechanical fixation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AC1 | AC input terminal 1 | One leg of AC input; connects to transformer secondary or line input; shares internal diode anode/cathode node |
| AC2 | AC input terminal 2 | Second leg of AC input; completes full-wave bridge input path; electrically symmetric to AC1 |
| (+) | Positive DC output | Anode common point of two series-connected diodes; delivers rectified positive rail to filter capacitor or load |
| (−) | Negative DC output / return | Cathode common point of two series-connected diodes; serves as DC ground reference and return path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated diode chips | Enhanced reliability and moisture resistance vs. epoxy-passivated devices; critical for long-term stability in humid environments |
| Electrically insulated case with 2700 V RMS isolation | Eliminates need for additional insulating hardware when mounting to grounded heatsinks in AC-input applications |
| UL E300359 approval | Confirms compliance with North American safety standards for component-level rectifiers used in end equipment |
| Wire-lead termination (W suffix) | Enables direct PCB through-hole soldering or chassis wiring without fast-on connectors; simplifies assembly in low-volume builds |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar single-phase bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-GBPC2510A | Same electrical specs but uses fast-on (push-on) terminals instead of wire leads; identical GBPC package outline except terminal type | Designed for quick-connect terminal blocks or relay sockets; unsuitable for direct PCB soldering or chassis wiring | Select VS-GBPC2510A only when fast-on interface is required; VS-GBPC2510W preferred for soldered or wired interconnects |
| ON Semiconductor GBPC2510W | Functionally identical 25 A / 1000 V bridge; same GBPC-W package dimensions and pinout; minor differences in I2t (790 vs. 770 A²s) and RthJC (1.72 vs. 1.7 K/W) | No functional impact in typical industrial designs; qualifies as second-source option where Vishay supply constraints exist | Use ON Semiconductor GBPC2510W as drop-in alternative when cross-sourcing is needed; verify thermal margin with actual layout |

FAQ
What is the maximum average forward current rating for VS-GBPC2510W?
The VS-GBPC2510W has a maximum average forward current (IO) of 25 A at a case temperature (TC) of 60 °C with resistive or inductive loads. At higher case temperatures or with capacitive loads, derating applies - e.g., 20 A at TC = 60 °C for capacitive loads. This rating assumes proper heatsinking per the 1.7 K/W RthJC specification.
Does VS-GBPC2510W require an insulating pad when mounted to a metal heatsink?
No, the VS-GBPC2510W does not require an insulating pad because its plastic case provides electrical isolation with a rated 2700 V RMS isolation voltage between terminals and baseplate. This allows direct mounting to grounded heatsinks in AC-input applications without compromising safety or creepage/clearance requirements.
What soldering profile is recommended for VS-GBPC2510W wire leads?
The VS-GBPC2510W wire leads are nickel-plated and qualified for Pb-free SAC305 solder with peak temperatures of 260–275 °C. Reflow or hand-soldering must comply with JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) guidelines - though this device is not moisture-sensitive, thermal shock during soldering should be limited to ≤3 sec above 260 °C.
Is VS-GBPC2510W certified for use in UL-listed end equipment?
Yes, the VS-GBPC2510W carries UL E300359 recognition, confirming compliance with UL 60747-4 for semiconductor devices. This certification permits its use in UL-listed end equipment without requiring additional component-level investigation - provided installation follows Vishay's mounting torque (2.0 N·m) and heatsink interface specifications.
How does the VS-GBPC2510W differ from VS-GBPC3510W?
The VS-GBPC2510W and VS-GBPC3510W share identical voltage rating (1000 V VRRM), package (GBPC-W), and pinout, but differ in current capability: VS-GBPC2510W is rated for 25 A average forward current with 1.7 K/W RthJC, while VS-GBPC3510W supports 35 A at 55 °C case temperature and lower 1.4 K/W RthJC. Thermal and surge ratings (e.g., IFSM = 400 A vs. 475 A) also scale accordingly.
