VSIB4A60-E3/45

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The Vishay VSIB4A60-E3/45 is a single-phase bridge rectifier in the GSIB-3S case style, rated for a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V. It supports a maximum average forward rectified output current of 4.0 A at a case temperature of 100 °C and 2.3 A when mounted on a printed circuit board. The device features a peak forward surge current capability of 80 A and a maximum instantaneous forward drop of 1.0 V per diode at 2.0 A. Reverse leakage current is limited to 5 µA at rated voltage and room temperature. Operating junction and storage temperatures range from -55 °C to +150 °C.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• High case dielectric strength of 1500 V RMS
• Ideal for printed circuit boards with high surge current capability
• Compliant to RoHS directive 2002/95/EC and WEEE 2002/96/EC

• Audio equipment and home appliances

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation before procurement. The E3 suffix indicates consumer grade compliance with JESD 201 class 1A whisker testing standards. Confirm that the package code matches the required delivery mode and unit weight specifications for your assembly process.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component based on the 600 V reverse voltage rating and 4.0 A continuous current capacity. Ensure thermal management aligns with the specified derating curves for heatsink or PCB mounting configurations. Validate that the operating environment stays within the -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature limits.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This part belongs to the VSIB4A series of single-phase single in-line bridge rectifiers manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings ranging from 200 V to 800 V, all sharing the same GSIB-3S mechanical case style and general electrical characteristics.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Vishay parts within the VSIB4A series such as VSIB4A40 or VSIB4A80, provided the voltage rating meets the circuit requirements. Verify that any replacement maintains the GSIB-3S footprint and equivalent thermal resistance values.
