6A40GHR0G

Diodes - Rectifiers - Single

The 6A40GHR0G is a 6A single-phase Bridge rectifier made with fast recovery high power Schottky rectifiers in a single package. It is ideal for all use cases where the converter bridge rectifier is needed to meet high power applications. The 6A40GHR0G can withstand very high surge currents thanks to its 4 Amp current capability and military-grade package materials.

Application Field

The 6A40GHR0G is the ideal solution for all kinds of power supplies and DC power distribution systems, including automotive, avionics, telecommunications, enterprise backup and industrial systems. The wide operating temperature range (-55°C to +175°C), high-temperature storage, and up to 200V surge capability make it also suitable for harsh, high-load conditions. The high-speed reverse recovery time and low forward voltage can reduce conduction losses and serve to improve the overall efficiency of the power system.

Working Principle

The 6A40GHR0G is a full wave Bridge rectifier with fast recovery high power Schottky rectifiers. It is capable of withstanding very high surge currents up to 4A and is capable of operating in environmental temperatures ranging from -55°C to +175°C. It can be mounted both horizontally and vertically, and comes with an extended creepage distance of 5.08mm for safety in hostile environments. In order to reduce induced voltage drops and adverse power supply interference, it utilizes a low intrinsic capacitance and low reverse-leakage current design.

The 6A40GHR0G works by connecting two opposite polarity terminals to the DC voltage source and to the device’s corresponding output terminals. This creates a bridge circuit in which the current flows through the Schottky rectifiers in a single direction. The diodes also serve to isolate the input and output lines, allowing the circuit to control the current flow and provide protection to the system’s components. In order to guarantee low power dissipation and good efficiency, the device utilizes a low forward voltage drop and fast recovery time.

Conclusion

The 6A40GHR0G is one of the best solutions for powering DC loads thanks to its high-performance characteristics, extended creepage distance, and high voltage capacitance. It is also designed for harsh environment applications and can accept very high surge currents without compromising safety or efficiency. Its low-power losses, fast-recovery time, and high-temperature storage make it one of the most popular devices for power distribution systems in different industries.
