GSIB6A20-E3/45

Overview

The GSIB6A20-E3/45 is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It utilizes the GSIB-5S through-hole package and employs standard silicon technology for power conversion applications. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 V and provides an average forward rectified current of 6 A per leg. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.1 V at 6 A and a reverse leakage current of 10 µA at 200 V. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and features a non-repetitive peak forward surge current rating of 150 A.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes isoCINK+™ technology for enhanced thermal performance and reliability in high-power applications.
• Designed with a low-profile GSIB-5S surface-mount compatible footprint adapted for through-hole mounting.
• Features glass passivation for protection against mechanical stress and environmental factors.

Applications

• General-purpose AC-to-DC power supply circuits.
• Battery charging systems requiring robust rectification.
• Industrial control equipment power stages.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix E3/45 to confirm RoHS compliance and lead-free termination specifications. Confirm package orientation and pinout compatibility during PCB layout review. Check for recent Product Change Notifications (PCN) regarding manufacturing location or material updates. Ensure storage conditions adhere to moisture sensitivity level requirements before soldering.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 6 A current rating and 200 V blocking voltage are required in a compact form factor. Compare forward voltage drop characteristics against alternative brands to optimize efficiency. Consider the thermal resistance of the GSIB-5S package for heatsinking requirements. Verify that the surge current capability meets the inrush demands of the target circuit design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GSIB series of bridge rectifiers from Vishay, which integrates multiple diodes into a single compact module. The series is designed for space-constrained applications requiring reliable power rectification. The GSIB-5S package offers a balance between current handling capacity and board space efficiency compared to larger SIP packages.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the GSIB6A20-M3/45. Other compatible alternatives may include parts from the GBU or GBLC series with matching 6 A and 200 V ratings, provided pinout and thermal characteristics are verified.
