Introduction

Diodes form the fundamental building block of modern electronics. A diode is a semiconducting device that allows current flow in one direction only, blocking current in the opposite direction. Rectifiers are diodes used to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). Array of rectifiers are used in applications such as power supplies, alternator rectifiers, DC motor controls and vehicle charging systems. This article will focus on the application field and working principle of a single VB2020C-E3/4W Diodes - Rectifiers - Arrays.

Application Field

The VB2020C-E3/4W Diodes - Rectifiers - Arrays is a robust device that can be applied in a wide range of applications. It is typically used in the following scenarios:

• Power supply: Power supplies use rectifiers to convert AC voltage to DC voltage.
• Alternator rectifiers: Alternators are carbureted devices that charge the car battery. The alternator rectifier converts the AC voltage delivered by the alternator to DC voltage in order to charge the car battery.
• DC motor control: DC motors are used in a variety of industrial and consumer applications. The DC motor control uses rectifiers to control the DC motor and regulate its speed.
• Vehicle charging system: Vehicle charging systems use rectifiers to convert AC voltage from an AC wall outlet to the required DC voltage to charge the car battery.
• Solar cell array: Solar cells are used to convert light to electricity. The solar cell array uses rectifiers to convert the AC voltage generated by the solar cells to DC voltage.

Working Principle

The VB2020C-E3/4W Diodes - Rectifiers - Arrays is made up of four rectifying elements placed in a package. Each rectifying element consists of two electrodes, an anode and a cathode, and a semiconductor material between them. When the anode is positive and the cathode is negative, current is allowed to flow through the device. This is known as forward conduction. If the anode is negative and the cathode is positive, current is blocked. This is known as reverse blocking or blocking.The four rectifying elements are connected in a configuration known as a Bridge Rectifier. A bridge rectifier is composed of two sets of two diodes facing each other. One set is connected in parallel across the incoming AC power and the other set of two diodes is connected in series. The bridge rectifier acts like a single diode allowing current to flow in one direction only. The output of the bridge rectifier is a DC voltage that is the same amplitude as the AC voltage but without any AC ripple.The VB2020C-E3/4W Diodes - Rectifiers - Arrays is designed to handle up to 20A of current in DC applications. It is sealed in a ceramic case, ensuring that it can withstand harsh environments.

Conclusion

The VB2020C-E3/4W Diodes - Rectifiers - Arrays is a robust device designed to convert AC to DC in various applications. It is composed of four rectifying elements in a bridge rectifier configuration and can handle up to 20A of current. This device is suitable for a variety of applications, including power supply, alternator rectifiers, DC motor controls, vehicle charging systems and solar cell arrays.
