Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity by checking for the M3 suffix, which indicates halogen-free composition and RoHS compliance. Confirm that the ordering code includes the /45 designation to ensure delivery in tube packaging. Cross-reference the UL recognition file number E54214 on official documentation to validate safety certifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 200 V blocking voltage rating is required for AC/DC conversion circuits. Ensure thermal management aligns with the specified 22 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance for PCB mounting or utilize heatsinks for higher ambient temperatures. Verify that the 6.0 A continuous current rating meets the load requirements under expected operating conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GSIB6 series of single-phase single in-line bridge rectifiers manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. The series encompasses variants with different voltage ratings, including 400 V, 600 V, and 800 V options, all sharing the same GSIB-5S package style and general electrical characteristics.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same family include GSIB640N-M3/45, GSIB660N-M3/45, and GSIB680N-M3/45. These alternatives offer identical mechanical dimensions and current capabilities but provide higher reverse voltage ratings of 400 V, 600 V, and 800 V respectively.

FAQ

What is the maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current?

The maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current (IFSM) is 180 A, measured using the JEDEC method with a single sine-wave superimposed on the rated load.

Does the M3 suffix affect the electrical performance?

No, the M3 suffix denotes material compliance, specifically indicating that the component is halogen-free, RoHS compliant, and passes the JESD 201 class 1A whisker test without altering electrical parameters.

What is the recommended mounting torque for the leads?

The recommended mounting torque is 5.7 cm-kg (5 in-lbs), while the maximum allowable mounting torque is 10 cm-kg (8.8 in-lbs).
