G3SBA60-E3/45

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The G3SBA60-E3/45 is a glass passivated single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features an in-line circuit configuration housed in a GBU case style. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 600 V and a maximum average forward rectified output current (IF(AV)) of 4.0 A at a case temperature of 100 °C. Key electrical parameters include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage (VF) of 1.0 V at 2.0 A, a maximum DC reverse current (IR) of 5 μA at 25 °C, and a peak forward surge current (IFSM) of 80 A. The component operates within a junction and storage temperature range of -55 to +150 °C.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm compliance status and packaging type. The E3 suffix indicates RoHS compliance and halogen-free material categorization. Confirm that the /45 designation corresponds to the standard tube delivery mode with a base quantity of 20 units per package before finalizing procurement orders.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component when a 600 V blocking voltage and 4.0 A continuous current rating are required in a GBU through-hole package. Ensure thermal management aligns with the specified derating curves for heatsink or PCB mounting configurations. Validate that the operating environment remains within the -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature limits defined in the datasheet.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This part belongs to the G3SBA series of single-phase bridge rectifiers from Vishay. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings, specifically the G3SBA20 (200 V), G3SBA60 (600 V), and G3SBA80 (800 V). All models share identical mechanical dimensions, current ratings, and package styles, differing primarily in their maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage capabilities.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include the G3SBA20-E3/45 and G3SBA80-E3/45, which offer 200 V and 800 V ratings respectively while maintaining the same 4.0 A current capacity and GBU package.
