VS-12TQ045PBF

Diodes - Rectifiers - Single

The VS-12TQ045PBF is an advanced rectifier diode in a TO-220 package. Rectifier diodes are special semiconductor electronic components that allow current through in one direction and do not pass it in the opposite direction. They are mainly used to convert AC (alternating current) to DC (direct current) and to protect the other circuit elements from reverse current.

The VS-12TQ045PBF is tagged as a single rectifier diode, meaning that there is just one diode that allows current through in a single direction. It is composed of a P-type and an N-type semiconductor material that form a junction. This junction is what creates the bi-directional resistance, by allowing free electron through in one direction, and not allowing it in the other.

The VS-12TQ045PBF is often used in high voltage automotive and military applications, power supplies, and power factor correction (PFC). It is an ideal solution for applications where high power is needed, such as in electric vehicles and other high power industrial applications. One unique advantage of the VS-12TQ045PBF is its ability to withstand high operating temperatures of up to 150 degrees Celsius.

The main features of the VS-12TQ045PBF are its high current capability (45A), low forward voltage drop (1.8V @25°C, 1.45V @125°C), and fast recovery (2.9ns typical). Its power dissipation rating is 100 V, which makes it suitable for a wide range of residential, commercial and industrial applications.

The VS-12TQ045PBF is designed with a dielectric breakdown voltage of 980V and a reverse voltage of up to 120 volts. This ensures that it can handle higher voltages than other standard rectifier diodes. The VS-12TQ045PBF also has a maximum surge current rating of 1,410A and is able to withstand peak currents of up to 3,750A.

Overall, the VS-12TQ045PBF is a versatile rectifier diode that is suitable for a range of high voltage and high current applications. It is capable of withstanding large currents and voltages, and it is suitable for use in high power industrial applications.
