Product details
Overview
GSIB1540-E3/45 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a single-phase, single in-line bridge rectifier with 400 V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 15 A average forward output current (IF(AV)) at TC = 107 °C, and 300 A non-repetitive peak forward surge current (IFSM). It features glass-passivated junctions, 2500 VRMS case dielectric strength, and is rated for operation from –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature - used in AC/DC full-wave rectification for industrial power supplies and home appliance mains interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the GSIB1540-E3/45 datasheet, GSIB1540-E3/45 pinout, GSIB1540-E3/45 application, or GSIB1540-E3/45 equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM rating matching input line voltage, thermal resistance (RθJC = 1.5 °C/W) for heatsink-coupled designs, surge capability (IFSM = 300 A) for inrush tolerance, and GSIB-5S package compatibility with through-hole PCB layouts requiring mechanical mounting torque ≤5.7 cm-kg.
Technical Context
This device implements a monolithic single-phase bridge configuration with four series-connected diodes in a single GSIB-5S molded package. Its glass-passivated chip junction ensures stable reverse leakage (IR ≤ 10 μA at 25 °C) and high reliability under thermal cycling.
The GSIB1540-E3/45 is optimized for conduction-mode rectification where low forward voltage drop (VF = 0.95 V at 7.5 A) minimizes conduction loss, while its 1.5 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance supports direct bolt-down heatsink mounting per #6 screw with silicone thermal compound - critical for sustained 15 A operation without derating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 400 V - supports 230 VAC mains input with ≥2× safety margin against peak line transients |
| IF(AV) | 15 A at TC = 107 °C - requires heatsink mounting to sustain full-rated DC output current |
| IFSM | 300 A - withstands single half-cycle surges common during cold-start of switching power supplies |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBU15J-E3/45 | Same 15 A IF(AV), 600 V VRRM; larger GBU package (27.2 × 20.3 × 16.5 mm); RθJC = 2.0 °C/W | Higher voltage margin but lower thermal efficiency; less suitable for space-constrained heatsink designs | Select when 600 V rating is required for 380 VAC systems or legacy layout reuse is prioritized over thermal performance |
| GBU15K-E3/45 | Same 15 A IF(AV), 800 V VRRM; identical GBU package; higher IR (20 μA at 25 °C) | Used in high-voltage industrial drives; increased reverse leakage may affect low-power standby behavior | Choose only if 800 V blocking is mandatory; verify IR impact on system no-load power budget |
Compared with GBU15J-E3/45 and GBU15K-E3/45, the GSIB1540-E3/45 offers superior thermal performance (RθJC = 1.5 °C/W vs. 2.0 °C/W) and compact GSIB-5S footprint - making it preferred for new designs targeting 230 VAC inputs with tight thermal or board-space constraints.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current rating for GSIB1540-E3/45?
The GSIB1540-E3/45 is rated for 15 A average forward rectified output current (IF(AV)) when the case temperature (TC) is maintained at 107 °C - this requires direct heatsink mounting per Vishay's recommended torque (5.7 cm-kg) and thermal interface. At 25 °C ambient without heatsink, the rating drops to 3.5 A.
Does GSIB1540-E3/45 have UL safety certification?
Yes, the GSIB1540-E3/45 carries UL recognition file number E54214, confirming compliance with UL/CSA safety standards for use in end-equipment requiring certified rectification components - including industrial controls and household appliances sold in North America and other regulated markets.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case (RθJC) for GSIB1540-E3/45?
The GSIB1540-E3/45 has a typical junction-to-case thermal resistance (RθJC) of 1.5 °C/W, measured under specified bolt-down heatsink conditions. This value enables efficient heat extraction when mounted with silicone thermal compound and #6 screw per Vishay's mechanical recommendations in Document 88644.
Can GSIB1540-E3/45 be used in 230 VAC applications?
Yes, the GSIB1540-E3/45 is specifically suited for 230 VAC input applications due to its 400 V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), which provides sufficient margin above the 325 V peak of 230 VAC mains - meeting standard design practices for surge and line variation tolerance in industrial and consumer power supplies.
What does the "E3/45" suffix indicate in GSIB1540-E3/45?
The "E3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant, commercial-grade construction with matte tin-plated leads qualified to JESD 201 Class 1A whisker testing; "/45" specifies tube packaging containing 20 units per tube - consistent with Vishay's standard ordering format for GSIB-series bridge rectifiers.
