VSIB680-E3/45

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The VSIB680-E3/45 is a single-phase bridge rectifier from Vishay General Semiconductor, utilizing the GSIB-5S package. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 800 V and an average forward rectified output current of 2.8 A when mounted on a PCB with specified copper pads. The device supports a peak forward surge current of 180 A and maintains a maximum instantaneous forward voltage drop of 0.95 V at 3.0 A. Operating junction temperatures range from -55 °C to +150 °C, with a typical thermal resistance of 22 °C/W under standard board mounting conditions.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• Glass passivated chip junction for enhanced reliability
• High case dielectric strength rated at 1500 V RMS
• Thin single in-line package design suitable for space-constrained applications

Bridge Rectifier Applications

• AC-to-DC bridge full wave rectification in switching power supplies
• Rectification circuits for home appliances
• Power management in office equipment
• Industrial automation control systems

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for specific manufacturing date codes relevant to project timelines. Ensure proper handling procedures are followed during storage and assembly to maintain electrical integrity.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high reverse voltage blocking capabilities up to 800 V. Evaluate thermal management requirements carefully, as current ratings vary significantly between heatsink-mounted and PCB-mounted configurations. Consider the GSIB-5S footprint constraints during PCB layout planning.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This part belongs to the VSIB620 through VSIB680 series of single-phase bridge rectifiers. All variants share identical physical dimensions and thermal characteristics within the GSIB-5S case style, differing primarily in their maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage ratings ranging from 200 V to 800 V.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Vishay parts within the same series such as VSIB660-E3/45 for lower voltage requirements. Cross-brand replacements must match the 800 V reverse voltage, 6 A nominal rating, and GSIB-5S package outline to ensure mechanical compatibility.
