LVE2560E-M3/P

Overview

The LVE2560E-M3/P is a low forward voltage single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It utilizes oxide planar chip junction technology and is housed in a thin GSIB-5S through-hole package with solder pin terminals. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V and delivers a maximum average forward rectified output current of 25 A at a case temperature of 118.7 °C, or 4.0 A at an ambient temperature of 25 °C without a heatsink. Key electrical parameters include a non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 360 A, a maximum reverse current of 10 μA at 600 V, and a typical instantaneous forward voltage of 0.74 V at 12.5 A and 125 °C. The component operates within a junction and storage temperature range of -55 to +150 °C.
