GSIB6A40-E3/45

Overview

The GSIB6A40-E3/45 is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It utilizes glass-passivated silicon die technology and is housed in the GSIB-5S through-hole package. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 400 V and an average forward rectified current of 2.3 A per terminal. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage drop of 1 V at 3 A and a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 80 A. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivation provides long-term stability and protects against mechanical stress.
• High case dielectric strength ensures reliable operation under high-voltage conditions.
• Designed for high surge current capability during transient events.

Applications

• General purpose AC-to-DC full-wave bridge rectification
• Power supplies for monitors, TVs, and printers
• Switching mode power supply (SMPS) input stages

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity by checking manufacturer markings and datasheet alignment. Confirm RoHS compliance status via official documentation. Validate package dimensions against GSIB-5S specifications before integration. Ensure storage conditions maintain moisture sensitivity level 1 integrity.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring robust general-purpose rectification with high surge tolerance. The 400 V rating suits standard low-voltage AC mains conversion. Verify thermal management requirements align with the 150°C junction limit. Consider the 2.3 A current capacity relative to load demands.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GSIB series of glass-passivated bridge rectifiers from Vishay. It shares design similarities with other models in the GSIB4Axx family, offering standardized performance for consumer electronics and industrial control applications requiring reliable AC-to-DC conversion.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the GSIB640-E3/45. Alternative options may include comparable 400V 2.3A bridge rectifiers from other manufacturers, provided pinout and thermal characteristics match the GSIB-5S footprint.
