GBPC5002T

Diodes - Bridge Rectifiers are widely used in a variety of electrical and electronic applications, including in power-supply circuits and for motion control. The GBPC5002T is a single-phase half-wave and full-wave rectifier bridge, with a rated current of 15 amps and a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 600 Volts.

The bridge rectifier consists of four individual diodes connected together in a bridge formation. At least one of the diodes must be reversed so that when an AC source is applied to the bridge, the current travels in only one direction through the circuit, thus providing a full-wave DC output. When used in a single-phase half-wave bridge rectifier, only two of the four diodes are used, and the current is limited to positive half-cycles. When used in a full-wave rectifier configuration, all four diodes are used, and the output current is limited to the entire AC waveform.

The GBPC5002T is constructed using a metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) as an active switching device. This MOSFET is used to provide an active switch between the bridge rectifier and the output terminals of the bridge rectifier, allowing for a fast transition between the two states. The active switch is controlled by a control signal from an external circuit, which can be generated using a logic controller or a microcontroller.

The MOSFET of the GBPC5002T has a combined power dissipation of 100 watts, with a maximum junction temperature of 150 degrees Celsius. It is rated with a rated avalanche current of 35 amps and a peak avalanche current of 114 amps. The GBPC5002T is designed to operate with a wide range of AC input voltages and has a low turn-on voltage, allowing for increased efficiency and power savings.

The bridge rectifier bridge is commonly used in a wide range of applications, including AC-DC power supplies, DC-DC converters, motion control systems and in many other power applications. By using a bridge rectifier, the AC voltage source can be transformed into a DC voltage source that can be supplied to the circuit. The GBPC5002T is ideal for applications where efficiency and power savings are desired, due to its low turn-on voltage and high power dissipation.

In conclusion, the GBPC5002T is an ideal bridge rectifier bridge for a wide range of applications, offering increased efficiency and power savings. With its low turn-on voltage and high power dissipation, the GBPC5002T is an ideal choice for AC-DC power supplies, DC-DC converters, and motion control systems.
