1 kV peak reverse, 12 A average — the power-bus workhorse
The GBPC1210-E4/51: The GBPC1210-/51: The Vishay GBPC1210-/51 is a single-phase bridge rectifier rated for 1 kV peak reverse voltage and 12 A average rectified output current. That voltage headroom covers 240 VAC mains with a 2× safety margin, and the current rating handles a 3 kW resistive load or a typical 2 kW offline power supply with a capacitive input filter.
GBPC package with QC tabs — mounting and thermal path
The 4-Square GBPC package uses quick-connect (QC) terminals for the AC inputs and DC output. Forward voltage is 1.1 V typical at 6 A.
Active production, ROHS3, no obsolescence risk
The base GBPC1210 die and package are identical; the suffix only changes the environmental compliance and shipping format.
