LVE2560-M3R/P

Overview

The LVE2560-M3R/P is a low forward voltage single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It utilizes an oxide planar chip junction and is housed in a thin GSIB-5S single in-line package. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V and provides a maximum average forward rectified output current of 25 A at a case temperature of 118.7 °C, or 3.5 A at 25 °C ambient without a heatsink. It withstands a non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 400 A for an 8.3 ms single sine-wave pulse. The component operates within a junction and storage temperature range of -55 to +150 °C.

Feature Summary

• Features a thin single in-line package with oxide planar chip junction technology
• Provides high surge current capability and high case dielectric strength of 2500 V RMS
• Ensures compliance with UL recognition file number E312394

Applications

• General purpose AC/DC bridge full wave rectification

• Home appliances and white-goods applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation before procurement. Confirm that the requested variant matches the required packaging code and base quantity specifications. Ensure compatibility with the intended thermal management strategy, as current ratings vary significantly between heatsink-mounted and free-air conditions. Validate RoHS compliance and halogen-free status requirements against the M3 designation.

Selection Notes

Select this component based on the required reverse voltage rating and forward current capacity under specific thermal conditions. Evaluate the thermal resistance characteristics to determine if a heatsink is necessary for maintaining the junction temperature within the specified limits. Consider the physical dimensions of the GSIB-5S package for PCB layout constraints. Verify that the surge current capability meets the circuit's transient requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to Vishay's Low VF Single-Phase Single In-Line Bridge Rectifiers series. It is designed for general-purpose rectification in various electronic applications. The M3 suffix indicates that the product is halogen-free, RoHS compliant, and commercial grade. The device is suitable for applications requiring high reliability and efficient power conversion.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Vishay documentation for confirmed substitute part numbers. Do not assume cross-compatibility with other bridge rectifiers without verifying electrical parameters and mechanical dimensions.
