VS-12CWQ06FNTRRHM3

Diodes - Rectifiers - Arrays

The VS-12CWQ06FNTRRHM3 is a diode rectifier array designed for high power applications. It is capable of easily handling up to 12A at 600V with a low forward voltage drop. The array features an advanced technology guardring design to maximize switching safety, and is compliant with many safety and reliability standards including UL and CSA.

Application Field

The VS-12CWQ06FNTRRHM3 is particularly well-suited for applications that require high levels of power to be switched rapidly, such as welding equipment, electronic monitoring systems, AC motors, lighting systems and LED lighting fixtures. This diode array can provide a steady flow of power over an extended period of time. It is also effective in applications that require a reliable way to reduce EMI, such as power supplies and computer servers.

Working Principle

Diodes are electrical components that allow current to flow in one direction while blocking it in the other. Therefore, a diode rectifier array is a series of diodes that have been connected together to make a single unit that is capable of efficiently converting AC (alternating current) to DC (direct current). The VS-12CWQ06FNTRRHM3 includes a series of 12 diodes with a low forward voltage drop, allowing it to handle large currents without requiring additional components. This helps to simplify the overall assembly and makes it easier to ensure the safety and reliability of a system.

When power is supplied to the array, a current will flow through two input terminals and one output terminal, depending on the type of power being supplied. When AC power is supplied to the array, the diodes will only allow the positive half of the cycle to pass through, which effectively cancels out any negative half cycles. When DC power is supplied, the diodes will not prevent current from flowing in both directions, allowing for the unidirectional flow of current necessary to power the device.

The advanced guardring technology used in the VS-12CWQ06FNTRRHM3 ensures that over-voltage spikes are quickly absorbed, which helps to efficiently reduce the risk of device failure or system malfunction. This feature helps to reduce the risk of damage to the system and allows it to operate safely at high voltages. Additionally, this rectifier array is compliant with many different standards, including UL, VDE, and CSA, which helps to further ensure the safety and reliability of any system in which it is used.
