GSIB2060-E3/45

Overview

The GSIB2060-E3/45 is a single-phase bridge rectifier from Vishay General Semiconductor, utilizing the GSIB-5S through-hole package. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V and supports an average forward rectified output current of 20 A at a case temperature of 87 °C. The device exhibits a maximum instantaneous forward voltage drop of 1.0 V at 10 A and a peak forward surge current capability of 240 A. Operating junction temperatures range from -55 °C to +150 °C, with a typical thermal resistance (junction-to-case) of 1.5 °C/W.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated chip junction for enhanced reliability
• High case dielectric strength rated at 2500 V RMS
• Thin single in-line package design for compact mounting
