Introduction

VBO13-12AO2 is a bridge rectifier diode which has been widely used in most of the applications, especially in power rectification. In this article, we will dig into the application fields and working principles of it.

Application Fields

VBO13-12AO2 is widely used in various kinds of applications, such as consumer electronics, industrial applications, and telecommunications. In consumer electronics, this bridge rectifier diode is mainly used in power supplies, or for stabilizing any DC voltage. And in industrial applications, it is mainly used for fast rectifier speed to replace the traditional thyristor control, as well as providing better control and operation flexibility. In telecommunications, it is usually used for rectifier switched-mode power supplies and battery chargers.

Working Principle

VBO13-12AO2 is a bridge rectifier diode that adopts a full-wave bridge rectifier circuit. It is composed of four general-use diodes and connected by four two-terminal structures. Next, we will discuss the bridge rectifier in detail. The bridge rectifier consists of two positive and two negative terminals, when the AC input is connected to the positive and negative terminals, respectively, these two directions generate two push-pull signals which will drive the four diodes alternately work. Then the current will be rectified by the output terminals through the connected four diodes. The diodes will be forward biased for the current to flow through until the input voltage alternates into opposite direction. Then the train of alternate current flows in reverse direction so that the diodes are reverse biased.

When the input signal polarities change one time, the output polarities of the bridge rectifier circuit also change one time. Generally speaking, the bridge rectifier is mainly used for full wave rectification and will be converted into the direct current. The advantage of this bridge rectifier is that the four diodes are connected in a bridge and receive a better heat dissipation than those traditional four-terminal diodes.

Conclusion

To summarize, VBO13-12AO2 is a bridge rectifier diode, which can be used in many different application fields, such as consumer electronics, industrial, and telecommunications. The working principle of the bridge rectifier is based on four general-use diodes and connected by four two-terminal structures. The diodes will be forward biased for the current to flow through until the input voltage alternates into opposite direction. And the bridge rectifier is mainly used for full wave rectification and will be converted into the direct current.
