G5SBA60-M3/45

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The G5SBA60-M3/45 is a glass passivated single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It features a GBU case style and provides a maximum average forward rectified output current of 6.0 A at a case temperature of 100 °C, or 2.8 A at an ambient temperature of 25 °C when mounted on a PCB. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V and withstands a peak forward surge current of 150 A. Electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.05 V at 3.0 A and a maximum DC reverse current of 5 μA at 25 °C. The component operates within a junction and storage temperature range of -55 to +150 °C.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• Glass passivation protects the junctions against mechanical stress
• High case dielectric strength rated at 1500 V RMS
• Molding compound meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm compliance requirements. The M3 designation indicates the component is halogen-free and RoHS-compliant. Confirm the package code matches the required delivery mode, such as tube or paper tray. Ensure the base quantity aligns with manufacturing needs before finalizing procurement orders.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component based on the 600 V reverse voltage requirement and the 6.0 A current rating at elevated temperatures. Consider the thermal resistance values when designing heatsinking solutions. Verify that the GBU footprint matches the target printed circuit board layout. Evaluate the surge current capability against potential transient loads in the application.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This part belongs to the G5SBA series of glass passivated single-phase bridge rectifiers from Vishay. The series includes variants with different reverse voltage ratings, specifically 200 V, 600 V, and 800 V. All variants share the same GBU package style and similar electrical characteristics regarding forward voltage and surge current capabilities.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include G5SBA20-M3/45 and G5SBA80-M3/45. These parts maintain identical packaging and pinout configurations while offering different reverse voltage ratings.
