STTH3BCF060U Discrete Semiconductor Products

When choosing a component for a specific application, it is important to consider the design, form, function and cost of the component. The STTH3BCF060U is a diode rectifier belonging to the category of single-pass rectifiers, which are characterized by their ability to be applied cost-efficiently to a range of low voltage AC or DC applications. They offer a low power dissipation and a low forward voltage, as well as a low thermal resistance.

The STTH3BCF060U\'s design and form factor are of particular interest to designers. A single pass three-phase bridge rectifier, these components measure only 6.0 x 7.9 x 10 mm. The construction of the component involves the bonding of thick-film technology, allowing the component to deliver a high power density and low forward voltage.

The working principle of this component is quite simple. When an AC signal is connected to a three-phase single-pass bridge, a+ve and a -ve output voltage is generated, depending on the phase between the two inputs. When de current passes from the input to the output, the diodes that compose the rectifier create a low forward voltage drop across the component. This helps keep the voltage and current in the system within levels that the components can handle. The thick film technology construction also helps protect the component from high temperatures.

In terms of applications, the STTH3BCF060U is primarily used in low voltage AC or DC applications such as lighting, cell phones and laptop chargers, fluorescent lamps, buck and boost converters, motor speed controllers and AC rectifiers.

The STTH3BCF060U rectifier is an ideal solution for designers looking for a cost-effective solution to a wide range of low voltage AC or DC applications. Its small size and low thermal resistance make it easy to incorporate into a design, while its thick film construction and low forward voltage drop help protect the component from high temperatures.
