The DD260N16KHPSA1 is a solid-state device manufactured by Rectron semiconductor. It belongs to the family of rectifiers, more specifically, to the diodes-rectifiers-arrays category. It is used for snubber applications, and its main function is to protect other components from back-EMF.

Let us take a look at its application field and working principle. The DD260N16KHPSA1 is a hybrid device which consists of two parts: a set of sixteen MOSFETs along with sixteen PIN diodes. Each PIN diode is connected to a MOSFET for surge protection, and the diodes create a shield to protect the MOSFETs from voltage transients.

The most common application field for the DD260N16KHPSA1 is the protection of large motors, such as industrial machinery or inverters. The device is wired across the lines so that, in the case of an overload or high frequency voltage spikes, the MOSFETs get cut off, while the diodes are left active to manage the high current and voltage flow. The advantage of this is that, if the motor or inverter is already overloaded, the device will react quickly, avoiding a total shutdown.

This device is also a good option for power circuits in AC/DC converters, as it can protect the switching circuit from the damaging effects of high frequency voltage transients. When wired across the power supply, the DD260N16KHPSA1 will monitor the circuit and, in case of an overload or high frequency voltage spikes, it will create a low impedance path between the power supply rails and the load, allowing the circuit to self-regulate itself and avoid an overload.

Now let us take a look at its working principle. As we have mentioned earlier, the DD260N16KHPSA1 consists of sixteen PIN diodes along with sixteen MOSFETs. The MOSFETS are wired to act as a switch between the power supply and the load, while the PIN diodes act as a surge protection device. During normal operation, the MOSFETs are connected in series, and both the MOSFETs and the PIN diodes are on, creating a continuous current path.

In the case of an overload, the MOSFETs will be cut off, while the PIN diodes will remain on. This will create a low impedance pathway between the power supply and the load, allowing the surge current to be dissipated with little or no damage to other components.

In summary, the DD260N16KHPSA1 is a dual-protection device which is ideal for protection of large motor or inverter circuits against overloads and high frequency voltage transients. It consists of a set of sixteen MOSFETS and sixteen PIN diodes and it works by creating a low-impedance path between the positive and negative power supply rails and the load, so that, in the case of high frequency voltage spikes, the current can be diverted and dissipated without damaging other components.
