GSIB6A60-E3/45

Overview

The GSIB6A60-E3/45 is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features an average forward current of 6.0 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V. The device utilizes the GSIB-5S through-hole package with solder pin termination. Key electrical parameters include a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 180 A, a maximum forward voltage of 0.95 V at 3.0 A, and a maximum reverse leakage current of 10 µA at 600 V. The junction temperature range extends from -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated chip junction for reliable operation
• High surge current capability for robust performance
• High case dielectric strength of 1500 V RMS
• Thin single in-line package design

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity against official Vishay datasheets before integration. Confirm RoHS3 compliance and REACH status requirements match specific project regulations. Ensure the GSIB-5S footprint matches the target PCB layout. Validate thermal management strategies for the specified 150°C junction temperature limit during final assembly review.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 6 A continuous current rating and 600 V blocking voltage are required in a compact through-hole format. The GSIB-5S package offers a space-efficient alternative to larger bridge rectifiers. Consider the 0.95 V forward voltage drop for efficiency calculations in low-voltage output stages. Ensure the 180 A surge rating accommodates inrush currents in the target circuit design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GSIB series of single-phase bridge rectifiers from Vishay. The series includes variations with different voltage ratings such as 200 V, 400 V, and 800 V, while maintaining the same 6 A current rating and GSIB-5S package. The suffix E3 indicates lead-free and halogen-free construction compliant with modern environmental standards.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include GSIB6A40-E3/45 (400 V) or GSIB6A80-E3/45 (800 V) if voltage ratings differ. Cross-manufacturer equivalents should be verified for identical current, voltage, and package dimensions.
