RURG8060-F085

The RURG8060-F085 is a single-phase full-wave diode bridge rectifier designed for high-current operation. This bridge rectifier is widely used in various applications due to its low cost and high reliability. This component is widely used in applications such as power converters, power supplies, inverters and motor control circuits. This component can also be used in different situations like AC/DC converters, UPSs and communication equipment.

The RURG8060-F085 diode bridge rectifier consists of four individual diodes connected in a bridge configuration. When a full battery voltage is applied across the bridge rectifier, current flows through the four diodes in the forward direction, producing a rectified output voltage. The bridge rectifier also can be referred to as a full-wave rectifier since it converts both positive and negative cycles of the input AC voltage into a rectified DC voltage. The output voltage is a full battery voltage minus two diode drops.

The operating principle of the RURG8060-F085 diode bridge rectifier is simple; when a voltage is applied across the bridge connection, current that is shifted in the forward direction from one diode to the next flows through the four diodes to form rectified output voltage. This bridge rectifier is also protected against a reverse current if the input voltage is higher than the output voltage. The reverse current is prevented by the internal diodes and the current is pushed back to the rectifier through one of the diodes.

The RURG8060-F085 diode bridge rectifier has a total capacitance of 600 μF, which can be lowered by connecting a resistor in series with the diode bridge. This will reduce the voltage spikes that could occur if the diode bridge is operated at high frequencies. The diode bridge also has a maximum power dissipation rating of 350 mW, which can be further reduced by increasing the effective capacitance.

The RURG8060-F085 diode bridge rectifier is suitable for a wide range of applications due to its low cost, high reliability and good power efficiency. It is especially suitable for applications like AC/DC converters, UPSs, communication equipment, and various industrial and consumer devices. The operating temperature of the diode bridge is between -55°C and +125°C, which makes it suitable for operation in both commercial and industrial environments.

In conclusion, the RURG8060-F085 diode bridge rectifier is a cost-effective and reliable component suitable for many different applications. It is characterized by low capacitance, low power dissipation, and controllable reverse current. The wide range of operating temperature and high reliability make it suitable for use in both commercial and industrial applications.
