GSIB15A60N-M3/45

Overview

The GSIB15A60N-M3/45 is a single-phase, single in-line bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It features a glass passivated chip junction and operates within a temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C. The device provides a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 600 V and supports a maximum average forward rectified output current of 15 A at a case temperature of 107 °C. Electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage drop of 1.0 V at 7.5 A and a maximum DC reverse current of 10 μA at 25 °C. The unit utilizes the GSIB-5S package with matte tin plated leads.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated chip junction for enhanced reliability
• High surge current capability with 200 A rating
• High case dielectric strength of 2500 V RMS
• Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction

Applications

• Switching power supply AC/DC bridge full wave rectification

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm compliance with RoHS directives and halogen-free material requirements. Ensure storage conditions maintain moisture sensitivity level integrity prior to soldering. Validate ordering suffixes against official Vishay documentation to confirm specific packaging configurations.

Selection Notes

Select this component based on the required 600 V reverse voltage blocking capability and 15 A continuous current handling. Evaluate thermal management strategies using the specified thermal resistance values for heatsink or PCB mounting. Consider the GSIB-5S form factor for space-constrained printed circuit board layouts requiring single in-line configuration.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GSIB15A series of single-phase bridge rectifiers from Vishay. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings such as 200 V, 400 V, and 800 V. All models share identical physical dimensions and electrical current capabilities, differing primarily in their peak reverse voltage specifications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include GSIB15A20N-M3/45, GSIB15A40N-M3/45, and GSIB15A80N-M3/45. These alternatives offer identical mechanical and current specifications but vary in maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage ratings.
