Diodes – Rectifiers – Arrays

Diodes, rectifiers and arrays are important components of electronics technology and they provide an important control of current, voltage and signal flow. The MBR20150CTTU is a high voltage, high current, easily available rectifier in a DO-203AA package. It has an average forward current of 15A and a peak forward current of 20A. It can handle a peak reverse voltage of 1500V and has a maximum reverse leakage current of 250mA. The forward voltage drop of the body diode is 8.6V.

The MBR20150CTTU is a four-diode bridge rectifier array and is made up of four independent Silicon NPN junction diodes. It provides a 3-phase AC to single phase DC rectification, with 4 bridges connected in a “full-wave bridge” configuration. Its voltage regulation rate is excellent, with a minimum of 0.5% at 10% line regulation. With a temperature coefficient of 0.08%, its performance is guaranteed to remain stable over time.

The type MBR20150CTTU is ideal for use in DC/AC power supplies, inverters, AC/DC converters and other rectifier circuits, industrial and telecom solutions. It is suitable for applications where high efficiency and reverse surge protection are required. Its industry-standard footprint allows it to be used as a replacement or new device in existing designs without much hassle.

The working principle of the MBR20150CTTU is very simple. The four terminals of the rectifier are connected to an AC voltage source, and during positive half cycle, the anode of D1 and D4 will be positive voltages and the anode of D2 and D3 will be negative voltages. During negative half cycle, the anode of D2 and D3 will be positive voltages and the anode of D1 and D4 will be negative voltages. Since the anode of a diode can only conduct the current when it meets a higher voltage than its cathode, current conducts from the positive anode to the negative cathode. In this way, it can repeatedly rectify even the alternating current and output a DC at its output end.

In general, diodes, rectifiers and arrays are useful components in a wide variety of applications. The MBR20150CTTU is a high voltage, high current, easily available rectifier that can provide efficient, reliable and stable performance. It is suitable for a variety of different applications such as DC/AC power supplies, inverters, AC/DC converters and other rectifier circuits, industrial and telecom solutions. With its industry-standard footprint and working principle, the MBR20150CTTU is ideal for both new and existing designs.
