V20100C-M3/4W

The V20100C-M3/4W is a specific type of diodes, more precisely an array of rectifiers. In this article, we will explain the application field and working principle of this particular device.

Applications

The V20100C-M3/4W is typically used as a diode bridge of half-wave rectifiers, but it can also be used to influence the flow of electric current and voltage. This type of diode bridge is used in a wide range of electronic designs such as electronic control systems, power converters, AC/DC adapters, lighting circuits, solenoids, automotive applications, and much more.

This device is also used in a variety of commercial and industrial applications, including telecommunications equipment, industrial power supplies, motor controls, and electric lighting systems. It is also used in military and aerospace applications.

Working Principle

This particular diode bridge is a four-terminal device with a built-in reverse polarity protection. The way it works is that it allows for alternating current to flow in one direction and blocks it from flowing in the other direction. The four terminal connections correspond to positive, negative, neutral, and ground output, respectively.

The device is rated for a maximum forward current of 10 amperes, peak reverse voltage (PRV) up to 1500V, and reverse recovery time (trr) of less than 2 us, making it suitable for a wide range of application fields. In addition, the device includes integrated ESD protection making it very reliable in hostile environments.
