VS-86HF160

The VS-86HF160 is a single phase, surface mount, Schottky rectifier. It has an operating temperature range of -55°C to 150°C and is designed to be used with a variety of negative gate volatge options. VS-86HF160 rectifiers are used mainly in general-purpose applications, including automotive and industrial control, lighting and power supply for a variety of electronics.

The VS-86HF160 main feature is a wide operating voltage range of 4.5-40V, which makes it suitable for a variety of applications. It has a low forward voltage drop of 0.68V at 50A which results in very good efficiency for power applications. The VS-86HF160 also has a high power dissipation package which limits the junction temperature and protects from over-temperature conditions.

The VS-86HF160 can be used in almost any type of circuit, from light loads to high-load currents. It can be used to control the voltage and current in the application circuit, and it can be used to provide protection against short-circuit and reverse voltage. The VS-86HF160 is often used in applications where reliability is essential.

The VS-86HF160 working principle is based on the P-N junction diode. The diode consists of two p-N layers, usually referred to as anode and cathode. When the anode(positive) is connected to a higher voltage than the cathode(negative), current flows from anode to the cathode. The diode is said to be forward-biased. When the opposite situation occurs, current does not flow, and the diode is in a reverse state. The current limiting properties of the P-N junction enable it to be used as a protective device in power circuits.

The VS-86HF160 is designed to draw minimal power while operating in forward-biased mode. This characteristic makes the VS-86HF160 suitable for use in circuits that require both high efficiency and low power dissipation. The VS-86HF160 is often used in automotive body controllers and in solar panel controllers, where a small forward voltage drop is desired. The device can also be used as a protection element to limit the current passing through a circuit and protect against voltage spikes.

Due to its ability to withstand higher temperatures than other rectifiers, the VS-86HF160 is often used in a variety of harsh or hot environments, such as high-reliability automotive applications and industries. This includes applications in solar power, aerospace, motor control, temperature control and more.

In conclusion, the VS-86HF160 is a single phase, surface mount, Schottky rectifier suitable for a wide range of applications. It has a wide operating voltage range of 4.5-40V, it has a low forward voltage drop and a high power dissipation package that limits the junction temperature and protects from over-temperature conditions. Additionally, its ability to work at higher temperatures makes the VS-86HF160 an attractive choice for applications in harsh environments.
