VBO125-12NO7

Diodes - Bridge Rectifiers are a type of rectifier which are the main components in many electronic circuits. This type of rectifier works by passing electricity through a single device which uses two diodes and a set of four parallel bridges which rectify alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC). One of the most common bridge rectifiers is the VBO125-12NO7, which is a medium size bridge rectifier rated for a maximum continuous current of 16.5A.

The main application of the VBO125-12NO7 bridge rectifier is in DC power supplies, and it can be used to convert mains AC voltage to provide a steady and reliable output voltage, which is essential in many types of power supplies. In applications such as laptop power supplies, it is possible to use the VBO125-12NO7 bridge rectifier to provide both the DC and AC inputs, as well as the overvoltage protection, making it an ideal component for many popular power supplies.

The working principle of the VBO125-12NO7 bridge rectifier is relatively simple. It uses four alternating single diodes connected in parallel, with each of the diodes having one end connected to a common positive point and the other to a common negative point. The AC input is applied to these two points and the bridge rectifier will allow current to flow in the forward direction, but not in the reverse direction. This causes the AC voltage to be rectified, and the output is a steady DC voltage which is then applied to the output of the bridge rectifier.

Overall, the VBO125-12NO7 bridge rectifier is a high-performance and reliable component which is used in a wide range of electrical applications. Its main application is in DC power supplies, where it can provide a steady and reliable output voltage, as well as overvoltage protection. Its working principle is relatively simple and is based around four alternating single diodes connected in parallel, allowing current to flow in the forward direction but not in the reverse direction.
