VIT6045CHM3/4W

VIT6045CHM3/4W Application Field and Working Principle

The VIT6045CHM3/4W is a rectifier array manufactured by Vishay Telefunken. It is also a type of thyristor array designed for MCB/MCF, Power Rectifier Diodes and HVDC applications. The VIT6045CHM3/4W functions as a single-phase or three-phase, half-wave or full-wave, and high-current rectifier diode array with reverse voltage ratings of 6 V, to 45 V. The VIT6045CHM3/4W is a surface-mount device available in the TO-220AB and TO-263 packages.

Application Field:

The VIT6045CHM3/4W may be used in automotive applications such as line protection, power distribution, and power management. It is also suitable for power supplies, motor drives, lighting, and office equipment. It is well-suited for applications in power supplies, converters, UPS systems, and telecom, and medical equipment.

Working Principle:

The VIT6045CHM3/4W rectifier array employs a reverse-biased Schottky barrier diode. The diode acts as a bridge between the incoming electrical current and the output terminal. When a certain voltage is reached, the diode will switch to the forward-bias state and will allow current to flow. The purpose of this is to convert AC current into a DC output. The VIT6045CHM3/4W is capable of blocking high reverse voltage and transient voltage spikes. Furthermore, it has a low forward voltage drop, which can improve efficiency. The VIT6045CHM3/4W provides a stable current-drive capability, low power losses, and high surge capability due to its built-in Freewheeling diode.

Conclusion:

VIT6045CHM3/4W is a rectifier array manufactured by Vishay Telefunken. It is a surface-mount device that is used in automotive electrical systems, power supplies, converters, and telecom and medical equipment. Its working principle is based on reverse biased Schottky barrier diode which acts as a bridge between the incoming electrical current and the output terminal, converting AC currents into a DC output. The VIT6045CHM3/4W offers low-power losses, high-surge capability, and a low forward voltage drop, while providing voltage blocking, current-drive capability, and transient voltage protection.
