VIT3060CHM3/4W Working Principle

The VIT3060CHM3/4W Rectifier Array is a high-current device designed to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). The two pair of diodes have different polarities; one pair is used to rectify the positive-going half-cycles and one pair is used to rectify the negative-going half-cycles. When the forward voltage of one pair of diodes is larger than the AC signal, the diode operates in the forward-biased state and the current can easily pass through it. When the voltage of the diodes reaches the peak of the AC signal, the diode reaches the cutoff point and stops conducting. At the same time, when the opposite pair of diodes is forward biased, it will also pass current. The two opposite diodes will alternate reciprocally, thus realizing the conversion of AC to DC.

Conclusion

The VIT3060CHM3/4W Rectifier Array is a economical, compact and high current device used for efficient conversion of AC to DC. It is used in a wide range of applications in telecommunications, automotive, industrial and consumer electronics. The rectifier operates on the principle of two pairs of opposite diodes which alternately pass current and convert AC to DC.
