GSIB2560N-M3/45

Overview

The GSIB2560N-M3/45 is a single-phase bridge rectifier from Vishay General Semiconductor, utilizing glass passivated chip junctions within a thin single in-line GSIB-5S package. It provides a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V and supports a maximum average forward rectified output current of 25 A at a case temperature of 98 °C. The device withstands a peak forward surge current of 350 A and exhibits a maximum instantaneous forward voltage drop of 1.0 V at 12.5 A. Operating junction temperatures range from -55 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 suitable for printed circuit boards
• Halogen-free, 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 conversion in office equipment
• Industrial automation applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm compliance status and packaging details. Confirm that the component meets all required environmental standards for the intended deployment environment before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component based on the 600 V reverse voltage rating and 25 A continuous current capacity requirements. Ensure adequate thermal management is provided, as the maximum average forward current drops significantly when operating without a heatsink compared to direct mounting on an aluminum plate.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GSIB25 series of single-phase single in-line bridge rectifiers manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings, sharing the same GSIB-5S mechanical footprint and general electrical characteristics.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other Vishay GSIB25 series parts such as GSIB2560-E3/45 or GSIB2560-M3/45, which share identical electrical parameters and physical dimensions.
