APD160VD-G1 is a rectifier module that belongs to the Diodes - Rectifiers - Single product family. It is a thyristor used as a switching device to convert alternating current(AC) to direct current(DC).

Application Field

APD160VD-G1 is suitable for the circuits needing high power electromagnetic compatibility, such as the circuits in electric power distribution, uninterruptible power supply, and so on. It can also be used in control laser heads in electro-optic systems, high power automotive generators, high speed inverters, voltage-frequency converters, and so on.

Working Principle

The working principle of APD160VD-G1 is based on the concept that it is a high-power thyristor with a preset gate turn-off threshold current, which can be used to convert AC to DC when its gate voltage is applied. When the control voltage reaches the forward activation voltage, the threshold current is applied to the thyristor. Then, the thyristor is turned on and the current flows from the anode to the cathode. When the thyristor is turned on, the current flowing through it becomes constant and its anode-cathode voltage rises to a specific level.

When the gate voltage decreases to the turn-off voltage, the thyristor is turned off and the current flowing through it stops. Then, the APD160VD-G1 rectifier module is switched off.

The APD160VD-G1 can also be used with the optional fault detection circuit to detect and protect the circuit from over-current, over-voltage, or over-temperature.
