VBT1080C-M3/4W

The VBT1080C-M3/4W is a rectifier diodes. It is used to direct current in one direction and to stop the current in the opposite direction. M3/4W stands for Mark 3 Watlow, which is a thermal measurement system.

The VBT1080C-M3/4W is typically used for snubber circuits, battery chargers, dc links, low frequency inverters, and other power converter application fields. This rectifier can also be used in very low power automotive applications. The current rating is 18Amps and the voltage rating is 800V.

The main components of the VBT1080C-M3/4W are two rectifying diodes. The two diodes are arranged in a circuit in order to allow current to flow in one direction. The reverse current is stopped. Thus, an electrical current is applied to one end while the other end is blocked, allowing the device to rectify or block the current. In terms of its structure, the device consists of two rectifying diodes connected in series, surrounded by a high-temperature ceramic body with a printed thermal management system that is designed to disperse any heat away from the diodes in order to prevent overheating.

The working principle of the rectifier is to oppose the reverse flow of current while allowing the forward flow of current. The voltage applied to the diodes is the “breakover voltage”, which represents the minimum voltage required for the current to flow through the diodes. When the voltage reaches the breakover voltage, the diodes begin to conduct and allow the current to flow.

The VBT1080C-M3/4W rectifier is a highly efficient device due to the two rectifying diodes. The two diodes reduce the power supply\'s losses by eliminating the wasted heat created due to the current flowing back and forth through the diodes. The power supply\'s output voltage is also stabilized and accurate, resulting in better electrical performance.

The VBT1080C-M3/4W rectifier is ideal for use in applications that require precise voltage regulation and current rectification. It is highly reliable, efficient, and designed to last a long time. The device is typically used in snubber circuits, battery chargers, dc links, inverters, and other power converter application fields, and is ideal for very low power automotive applications.
