GSIB6A60N-M3/45

Overview

The GSIB6A60N-M3/45 is a single-phase standard bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It features a SIP4 (GSIB-5S) through-hole package designed for general-purpose power supply applications. The device supports an average rectified current of 15 A and withstands a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V. Key electrical characteristics include a forward voltage drop of 1 V and a reverse leakage current of 10 μA at 600 V. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and complies with RoHS standards.

Feature Summary

• High thermal stability with a junction temperature rating up to 150°C
• Low forward voltage drop for improved efficiency
• Lead-free construction compliant with RoHS directives

Applications

• General purpose AC-DC power supplies
• Battery chargers
• Adapters and converters

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix /45 against official datasheets to confirm tube packaging requirements. Ensure the component meets RoHS3 compliance standards required for the target assembly. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to confirm active status and avoid obsolete variants.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 15 A current rating and 600 V blocking voltage are required in a compact SIP4 footprint. Compare the 1 V forward voltage drop against alternative packages if thermal management is constrained. Verify that the GSIB-5S pinout matches the PCB layout design before finalizing the selection.

Part Context

This part belongs to Vishay's GSIB series of bridge rectifiers, which utilizes the GSIB-5S surface-mount compatible leaded package. The series offers various current and voltage ratings to support diverse power conversion needs while maintaining a small board area compared to traditional axial or larger SIP packages.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Vishay GSIB6A60N variants with different suffixes such as E3/45, provided the electrical parameters and package dimensions remain identical. Verify pin compatibility and thermal characteristics before substituting.
