GSIB15A40N-M3/45

Overview

The GSIB15A40N-M3/45 is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It features a maximum average forward rectified output current of 15 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 400 V. The device has a peak forward surge current rating of 200 A and a maximum instantaneous forward voltage drop of 1.0 V at 7.5 A. Operating junction temperature ranges from -55 °C to +150 °C, with a maximum DC reverse current of 10 μA at rated blocking voltage. It utilizes the GSIB-5S through-hole package.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated chip junction for enhanced reliability
• High case dielectric strength of 2500 V RMS
• Thin single in-line package design
• Halogen-free and RoHS compliant construction

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity by checking for the Vishay marking on the GSIB-5S package body. Confirm compliance status via the official datasheet document number 89386. Ensure ordering suffixes match specific packaging requirements. Validate technical parameters against the manufacturer's electrical characteristics table before integration into circuit designs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 400 V peak reverse voltage rating is required alongside a 15 A continuous current capacity. Consider the thermal resistance values for heatsink mounting versus PCB-only configurations. Evaluate the 200 A surge current capability against potential startup or fault conditions in the target application circuit.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GSIB15A series of single-phase single in-line bridge rectifiers. Other variants in the family include models with 200 V, 600 V, and 800 V ratings. All share identical physical dimensions and thermal characteristics within the GSIB-5S package style.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include GSIB15A20N, GSIB15A60N, and GSIB15A80N. These parts maintain identical mechanical footprints and current ratings while differing only in their maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage specifications.
