Diodes - Bridge Rectifiers

The VBO68-16NO7 bridge rectifier is a kind of diode which has the ability to convert its input AC voltage into a DC voltage allowing for conversion to a more usable form of power for a variety of applications. This type of bridge rectifier is made up of four silicon diodes and is inserted into an insulated case. The package includes an M4 screw, a nut, and insulation washers. The bridge rectifier is a type of full-wave rectifier that consists of four diodes, configured in a bridge formation, which will provide AC to DC feature. This type of diode is called a bridge rectifier because instead of the two diodes that are typically found in typical rectifier circuits, it employs four.

Application Fields

VBO68-16NO7 bridge rectifier is mainly used in many kinds of power supplies, such as AC-DC power supply, motor power supply and charging power supply, etc. It is also very much applicable in the following fields:

• Motor Control
• Lighting
• Power Management
• Consumer Electronics
• Telecommunications
• Robotics
• Aviation
• Industrial Automation

This bridge rectifier can also be used for power control, AC power conversion and voltage regulation. This is useful for applications such as DC motor controls, HVAC systems, and solar energy.

Working Principle

The VBO68-16NO7 bridge rectifier is a diode bridge rectifier which works on the principle of converting an alternating AC voltage into direct DC voltage. This is made possible by the use of four diodes that are configured in a bridge-type semiconductor device. The four diodes in a bridge rectifier form a closed-loop configuration with the initial AC input voltage applied to the ‘anode’ of the first diode and a connected load placed at the ‘cathode’ of the last diode. In this way, current will first flow from one diode’s anode to its cathode, and then from the cathode of that diode to the anode of the next diode in the bridge.

This manner of operation makes a bridge rectifier a type of “full-wave rectifier” that can pass both the positive and negative half-cycles of an incoming AC current, thereby rectifying it into a single unidirectional DC current. This is because the AC current wave alternates direction in regards to the same two points in the waveform. The two halves of the waveform are then inverted when the current passes through the bridge rectifier’s diodes, resulting in a unidirectional waveform.

The bridge rectifier’s current-handling capability and voltage breakdown point are determined by its application. This is because the amount of current across a bridge rectifier will be affected by its external load, which consist of things like wires, switches, and the other application-specific components.

VBO68-16NO7 bridge rectifier has been designed to handle up to 16A of continuous current and 68V of peak inverse voltage (PIV) or avalanche peak. It works with up to 400kHz of frequency, and its junction temperature range can go up to 125°C. Its insulation resistance scores at 1000MΩ, and its ambient temperature range lies between -55°C and +105°C.

Conclusion

To sum up, the VBO68-16NO7 bridge rectifier is a diode that provides AC to DC conversion feature. It is quite adaptable and can be used in many different fields, including motor control, lighting, power management, consumer electronics, telecommunications, robotics, aviation, and industrial automation. It can also be used for power control, AC power conversion and voltage regulation. This bridge rectifier also allows for a bidirectional current flow in a controllable manner. Through the bridge device, the AC current can be converted into DC current for various applications.
