The VS-12F120M diode is part of the single rectifier family, a semiconductor device that permits electrical current flow in one direction only. This device is used peripherally in power supplies, chargers, voltage converters and other machinery requiring one-way current flow.

Part of the surface mount device package family, the VS-12F120M is a Rectifier Diode suited for high-frequency applications with low forward voltage drop and fast reverse-recovery time. It has an anode with a 1.6mm ceramic/molybdenum flat package with an epoxy resin coating. The diode is configured with a 12A, 200V rating.

The single rectifier, in this case, the VS-12F120M, has two main application fields: power supply and voltage conversion. While a power supply device will provide a steady electrical current for a steady amount of time, a voltage converter will adjust the current rate according to the voltage demands.

This is achieved primarily through its working principle. The rectifier converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). This is enabled by the anode, a positively charged electrode, and the cathode, a negatively charged one. Alternating current is comprised of two opposite electrical charges that switch periodically, which is why only one direction of current can flow through.

When AC is connected to a single rectifier, the anode acts as a conducting passageway. This is because the alternating charge of the AC current presented to the anode causes the anode region to be alternately charged and discharged. This triggers a current flow, which sends all charge in the same direction, channeling the current through and limiting its passage.

However, as is the case with any electrical current conversion process, some of that current is dissipated as heat or light. As a result, the element needs to handle this heat waste efficiently. In the VS-12F120M, through its molybdenum package and its aforementioned epoxy resin coating, it is able to maintain good heat dissipation.

The VS-12F120M is a semiconductor diode that is designed for single-direction current flow. It has two main application fields, voltage conversion and power supply, enabled by its simple working principle of converting AC to DC. Moreover, its flat package with molybdenum coating gives it excellent heat dissipation to ensure smooth functioning. As a result of its features, this single-rectifier diode is a great choice for various uses.
