MBRF60035

Diodes - Rectifiers - Arrays

The MBRF60035 is a member of ON Semiconductor\'s rectifier diode array family. This family is designed for high-speed switching applications, such as power supplies, converters, and invertors.

Application Field

TheMBRF60035 has an average rectified forward current of 600 V and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 35 V. This can be used in automotive applications, such as power steering systems, switches, as well as applications involving relays and switches including DC motors. It can also be used in DC power supplies, battery chargers and similar applications. The low reverse recovery time of this device makes it an especially suitable choice for high-speed pulses and oscillators. Additionally, its low forward-voltage drop and low power dissipation make it ideal for machines hosting low-voltage electronics, such as robotics and industrial control systems.

Working Principle

The MBRF60035 essentially works like a standard diode, allowing for current to flow in one direction and blocking current from flowing in the other direction. In this way, it can control or measure the voltage in a circuit. In effect, it\'s the same principle used by "Half-wave Rectifiers" and "Full-wave Rectifiers".The main difference between the two lies in how the current is clamped to a specific voltage. Half-wave rectifiers allow current to flow in only one direction, and the MBRF60035 will block any current flowing in the opposite direction. A full-wave rectifier, on the other hand, allows current to flow in both directions, but the MBRF60035 will only allow current to flow in one direction. This means that the MBRF60035 can be used to either provide a direct current (DC) voltage or to measure a voltage by clamping the current to a specific voltage. Additionally, its low reverse recovery time makes it especially suitable for high-speed pulses and oscillators.

Conclusion

The MBRF60035 is a rectifier diode array from ON Semiconductor that has an average rectified forward current of 600 V and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 35 V. It\'s suitable for a wide range of applications, including automotive, power supplies, battery chargers, and robotics, as well as high-speed pulses and oscillators. Its main working principle is based on the principles of "half-wave rectifiers" and "full-wave rectifiers", whereby it clamps current to a specific voltage, allowing it to either provide a DC voltage or measure a voltage.
