VS-50PFR160W

VS-50PFR160W is a passivated fast recovery single diode, which is designed to provide a low voltage drop across the diode. It is rarely used in modern applications due to its low current density and small heat dissipation range.

Application Field

VS-50PFR160W diodes are beneficial for current rectification in power supplies, high power converter circuits and high-voltage contactors for use in auto-electrics. It is also useful for AC-DC impedance matching in power amplifiers, power oscillators and power supply designs. This diode is commonly used in speed controls, motor control, and pulse applications.

The VS-50PFR160W is a great choice for applications that require a low forward voltage drop, fast response time, and low power dissipation. It is capable of handling large currents up to 100 amps with a low resistance value. This diode also has a low thermal resistance, making it a suitable choice for applications that require good thermal performance.

The VS-50PFR160W is often used in automotive circuits, such as power and signal relay circuits, circuit breakers, and low-power rectification and noise suppression in engine control systems. It is also widely used in medical applications, particularly in electrocardiographs, monitoring equipment, and X-ray detectors.

Working Principle

The VS-50PFR160W is a silicon diode that works in a conventional p-n junction, controlling the flow of electric current in one direction. This type of diode is ideal for use in high-frequency pulse circuits and switching circuits due to its low forward voltage. Its operation is based on the physics of a junction which allows for a rectification effect. In short, when forward-biased, the diode allows current to flow through a p-n junction without any obstruction while blocking the flow of current in the reverse direction.

The VS-50PFR160W has a high junction temperature and provides fast switching speeds with a low forward voltage drop. This type of diode offers higher efficiency and lower power dissipation than conventional diodes. Its low reverse leakage also minimizes power losses in switching circuits.

The VS-50PFR160W diode is TRR (Turn-on Rise Time) regulated and has a patented BioFET technology that allows it to operate under extreme temperatures. With the use of this technology, the diode remains stable under high and low temperatures and offers fast switching response times. This makes the diode ideal for use in applications that require frequent switching.

Conclusion

The VS-50PFR160W is a single passivated fast recovery diode that offers low forward voltage drop, fast response time, and low power dissipation. It has a wide variety of applications in automotive, medical, and other industrial applications. Its low reverse leakage, high junction temperature, and TRR (Turn-on Rise Time) regulation ensures a reliable and stable operation under extreme temperatures.
