GSIB2560-E3/45

Overview

The GSIB2560-E3/45 is a single-phase single in-line bridge rectifier from Vishay General Semiconductor, utilizing the GSIB-5S package. It features a maximum average forward rectified output current of 25 A at a case temperature of 98 °C and 3.5 A at an ambient temperature of 25 °C without a heatsink. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 600 V and a maximum RMS voltage of 420 V. Key electrical parameters include a peak forward surge current (IFSM) of 350 A, a maximum DC reverse current (IR) of 10 μA at 25 °C, and a typical instantaneous forward voltage drop (VF) of 1.0 V at 12.5 A. The operating junction temperature range extends from -55 °C to +150 °C.

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
• RoHS-compliant construction with matte tin plated leads

Applications

• AC/DC bridge full wave rectification for switching power supplies
• Rectification circuits in home appliances
• Power stages in office equipment
• Industrial automation control systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix /45 corresponds to the tube delivery mode containing 20 units per base quantity as documented in the manufacturer's ordering information table. Confirm that the E3 suffix indicates RoHS compliance and adherence to JESD 201 class 1A whisker testing requirements before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 600 V reverse voltage rating is required alongside a 25 A continuous current capacity under optimal thermal conditions. Ensure the application allows for adequate heat dissipation to maintain the case temperature below 98 °C for full current utilization, or derate significantly if mounted on a PCB without a dedicated heatsink.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GSIB25xx series of single-phase single in-line bridge rectifiers manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings: GSIB2520 (200 V), GSIB2540 (400 V), GSIB2560 (600 V), and GSIB2580 (800 V). All share the same GSIB-5S package style and identical current and thermal characteristics.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include GSIB2520-E3/45, GSIB2540-E3/45, and GSIB2580-E3/45, provided the voltage rating meets the circuit requirements. Verify that any replacement maintains the GSIB-5S footprint and thermal resistance characteristics.
