VS-50SQ080GTR

Diodes - Rectifiers - Single

A rectifier is a device that converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). The single diode rectifier is the most basic type of rectifier. It consists of a single p–n junction, or diode, that allows current in only one direction. The VS-50SQ080GTR rectifier is a single phase, integrated schottky rectifier, designed to replace the traditional 8A diode rectifier.

Application Field

VS-50SQ080GTR rectifiers are commonly used in AC/DC power supplies, low-cost flybacks, solar panels and other similar applications. Since it has a very low forward voltage and low thermal resistance, the VS-50SQ080GTR rectifier can provide the efficiency and reliability needed for high-power applications.

Working Principle

The operation of a single-diode rectifier relies upon the P-N junction effect. When a positive voltage is applied to the anode side of the diode, it produces a reverse voltage on the cathode side and thereby creates a high resistance. This prevents the primary current from flowing in the reverse direction, thus producing a unidirectional current flow.

In the forward-bias direction, the voltage across the diode decreases and thus creates a low resistance to the primary current. This allows the current to flow freely through the diode as long as the voltage does not exceed the diode\'s peak inverse voltage (PIV). To ensure the efficienct operation of the VS-50SQ080GTR rectifier, the PIV should not exceed 50V.

By utilizing the P-N junction effect, VS-50SQ080GTR single-diode rectifiers are able to efficiently convert alternating current to direct current. With its ultra-low forward voltage and low thermal resistance, the VS-50SQ080GTR rectifier can efficiently provide the power and reliability that higher power applications need.
