RB088BM100FHTL Discrete Semiconductor Products

A RB088BM100FHTL is a type of rectifier array, a device which consists of multiple semiconductor components tailored to convert alternating current (AC) signals into direct current (DC) signals. It’s used in a wide range of industries, such as automotive, aerospace, medical, and consumer electronics, to provide efficient power conversion in a variety of applications. The RB088BM100FHTL is a surface mount rectifier bridge that offers low temperature coefficient for low-voltage operation and increased efficiency.

The basic operation of a rectifier array is the same regardless of the manufacture or model. The array is designed to take in a voltage from an AC source and use the individual components of the array to break down the voltage into usable DC components. This is achieved by the way each component is wired and connected in series or parallel. The inputs of the array are usually on the outer edges with the diodes arranged in an ‘X’ pattern in the center.

In the RB088BM100FHTL each diode is rated at 100V and 8A, with a forward voltage of 0.88V. The device is available in a surface mount package and is designed to provide a low thermal resistance of 0.77°C/W and an average forward current of 100mA. Together, these characteristics allow for higher currents without the need for additional heat dissipation, as well as high-frequency operation.

The RB088BM100FHTL rectifier array is primarily used to convert power sources in the static AC, or pulsed AC/DC conversion, such as the kind found in general purpose switch mode power supplies or in any application or system requiring a reverse recovery time of less than 600ns. It is suitable for scenarios that require low conduction losses and fast switching times due to its low forward voltage drop.

The RB088BM100FHTL also features a built-in bypass diode, which functions to divert current away from the main components in the event of a surge voltage. This helps protect the device from short circuits and reverse current flow, increasing the lifespan of the rectifier array. Additionally, the array has a reverse voltage protection of up to 800V and can handle up to 300 amps of current.

In summary, the RB088BM100FHTL rectifier array is an efficient and reliable device used to convert AC sources into DC sources, and is used primarily in applications such as switch mode power supplies. It offers a low thermal resistance and fast switching times as well as a built-in bypass diode to provide reverse current protection. The array is suitable for medium-level current applications, and its combination of low power consumption and reliable performance make it an attractive option for wide range of industries.
