GSIB680N-M3/45

Overview

The GSIB680N-M3/45 is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It utilizes the GSIB-5S in-line package and features a glass passivated chip junction. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 800 V and delivers a maximum average forward rectified output current of 6.0 A at a case temperature of 100 °C. Electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage drop of 0.95 V at 3.0 A, a peak forward surge current capability of 180 A, and a maximum DC reverse current of 10 μA at rated blocking voltage. The component operates within a junction and storage temperature range of -55 to +150 °C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated chip junction for enhanced reliability
• High surge current capability with 180 A rating
• Thin single-in-line package design
• High case dielectric strength of 1500 V RMS

Applications

• AC/DC bridge full wave rectification for switching power supplies
• Home appliances
• Office equipment
• Industrial automation applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm compliance status and packaging configuration. Confirm that the M3 suffix aligns with halogen-free and RoHS requirements as specified in the datasheet. Ensure procurement channels provide valid traceability for the GSIB-5S package type and check for any regional technical support contacts if required during acquisition.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an 800 V peak reverse voltage rating is required alongside a 6.0 A continuous current capacity. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the 22 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance for PCB mounting or 3.4 °C/W junction-to-case for heatsink applications. Verify that the operating environment stays within the -55 to +150 °C temperature range and that surge currents do not exceed the 180 A limit.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GSIB620N through GSIB680N series of single-phase single in-line bridge rectifiers from Vishay. All variants share identical electrical parameters except for the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage, which ranges from 200 V to 800 V across the series. They are designed for general-purpose rectification in compact electronic assemblies requiring high reliability and low profile.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same Vishay series include GSIB620N-M3/45, GSIB640N-M3/45, and GSIB660N-M3/45, provided the circuit voltage requirements match the lower ratings. Cross-manufacturer replacements must be verified for matching GSIB-5S footprint, 6.0 A current rating, and 800 V reverse voltage capability.
