GSIB1560N-M3/45

Overview

The GSIB1560N-M3/45 is a single-phase bridge rectifier from Vishay General Semiconductor, utilizing glass passivated chip junctions. It features a GSIB-5S through-hole package with matte tin-plated leads. Key electrical parameters include a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 600 V and a maximum average forward rectified output current (IF(AV)) of 15 A at a case temperature of 107 °C. The device supports a peak forward surge current (IFSM) of 300 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -55 to +150 °C. Forward voltage drop is 0.95 V at 7.5 A, with a reverse leakage current of 10 μA at 25 °C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated chip junction for enhanced reliability
• High surge current capability up to 300 A
• High case dielectric strength rated at 2500 V RMS
• Thin single in-line package design

Applications

• AC/DC bridge full wave rectification for switching power supplies
• Home appliances
• Office equipment
• Industrial automation applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix /45 corresponds to tube packaging with a base quantity of 20 units per datasheet documentation. Confirm RoHS compliance and halogen-free status associated with the M3 suffix before procurement. Ensure thermal management requirements align with the specified thermal resistance values for the intended application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 600 V blocking voltage and 15 A continuous current rating are required in a compact through-hole form factor. Consider the 0.95 V forward voltage drop for efficiency calculations at half-load conditions. Evaluate the thermal resistance of 22 °C/W on PCB mounting versus 1.5 °C/W on heatsink mounting to determine appropriate cooling strategies for the target operating temperature.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GSIB15 series of single-phase single-in-line bridge rectifiers manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings such as 200 V, 400 V, and 800 V, sharing identical physical dimensions and current handling capabilities. The GSIB-5S package allows for efficient space utilization in dense circuit board layouts while maintaining robust mechanical stability.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same Vishay family include GSIB1520N-M3/45, GSIB1540N-M3/45, and GSIB1580N-M3/45, which share the same package and current ratings but differ in reverse voltage specifications. Cross-manufacturer replacements must match the 15 A current, 600 V voltage, and GSIB-5S footprint constraints.
