Overview
LVE1560E-M3/P from Vishay General Semiconductor is a low forward voltage single-phase bridge rectifier in GSIB-5S package, rated for 15 A average forward current, 600 V peak reverse voltage, and 250 A non-repetitive surge current. It delivers 0.71 V forward voltage at 7.5 A and 125 °C junction temperature, enabling high-efficiency AC/DC conversion in telecom power supplies and server SMPS.
For engineers reviewing the LVE1560E-M3/P datasheet, LVE1560E-M3/P pinout, LVE1560E-M3/P application, or LVE1560E-M3/P equivalent, key selection criteria include thermal resistance (RθJC = 1 °C/W), dielectric strength (2500 VRMS), halogen-free RoHS-compliant M3 suffix, and verified 150 °C maximum junction temperature operation.
Technical Context
The LVE1560E-M3/P integrates four oxide planar junction diodes in a single-in-line configuration with common cathode/anode topology. Its GSIB-5S case provides 2500 VRMS isolation and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, supporting safe operation in mains-connected equipment.
Designed for high-surge environments, it sustains 250 A IFSM (8.3 ms sine wave) and exhibits 278 ns typical reverse recovery time with 175 pF junction capacitance at 4.0 V and 1 MHz - parameters critical for minimizing switching losses in high-frequency SMPS designs.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay GBU15J-M3/45 | Same 15 A/600 V rating but GBU package (larger, higher RθJA = 30 °C/W); VF = 0.95 V @ 7.5 A, 25 °C | Less thermally efficient in compact layouts; requires larger PCB footprint | Select LVE1560E-M3/P when board space and thermal management are constrained |
| ON Semiconductor GBPC1506 | 15 A/600 V, but GBPC package (4-pin round base); VF = 0.98 V @ 7.5 A, 25 °C; no M3 halogen-free marking | Higher forward drop increases conduction loss; lacks JESD 201 whisker qualification | Choose LVE1560E-M3/P for RoHS/halogen-free compliance and lower VF in high-temp operation |

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the LVE1560E-M3/P?
The LVE1560E-M3/P has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max.) of +150 °C, validated across its full operating range. This rating is supported by its 1 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance and oxide planar chip construction, allowing sustained operation in high-ambient environments such as enclosed server power supplies. Derating curves confirm 15 A output is maintainable up to 120 °C case temperature with heatsink.
Does the LVE1560E-M3/P meet UL safety certification?
Yes, the LVE1560E-M3/P carries UL recognition file number E312394 and features 2500 VRMS dielectric strength for one minute. Its GSIB-5S package uses UL 94 V-0 rated epoxy, satisfying insulation and flammability requirements for Class I and II end equipment. The M3 suffix further confirms compliance with JESD 201 Class 1A whisker testing for lead finish reliability.
What is the forward voltage drop of the LVE1560E-M3/P at elevated temperature?
The LVE1560E-M3/P specifies 0.71 V typical forward voltage at IF = 7.5 A and TJ = 125 °C. At 25 °C, VF is 0.85 V (typical). This negative temperature coefficient improves thermal stability under load, reducing conduction loss as junction temperature rises - a key advantage over standard bridges in thermally dense designs.
How does the LVE1560E-M3/P compare to standard bridge rectifiers in surge capability?
The LVE1560E-M3/P delivers 250 A non-repetitive peak forward surge current (IFSM) for 8.3 ms sine-wave, exceeding many 15 A-rated bridges. Its I²t rating is 259 A²s, enabling robust handling of cold-start inrush in telecom and server PSUs. This is achieved through optimized chip metallization and thermal design within the GSIB-5S package.
Is the LVE1560E-M3/P compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, the LVE1560E-M3/P features matte tin-plated leads qualified per J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, supporting standard lead-free reflow profiles. Its maximum solder dip tolerance is 275 °C for 10 seconds per JESD 22-B106, aligning with IPC-J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements for surface-mount assembly.
