Diodes - Rectifiers - Arrays

The VS-6CWQ06FNTR-M3 is a rectifier diode array. It is designed to simplify circuit design and minimize the components necessary in complex circuits. This array is typically used in automotive, industrial, lighting, and communications applications.

Package and Structure

The VS-6CWQ06FNTR-M3 is a six-pin, through-hole rectifier diode array housed in a standard SOT-23 surface-mount package. It is in a single-row plastic package with two separate pins per diode. The pins are arranged to form a single common anode, and provides isolation between the diodes within the array. This structure enables connection of multiple components in the same package providing for a more efficient design.

Working Principle

The VS-6CWQ06FNTR-M3 is an alternating current (AC) input rectifier diode array that can handle a maximum operating temperature of 150°C. It is designed to convert AC voltage input into direct current (DC) voltage output, and can accept up to 600V of input voltage. The rectified output voltage is equal to the peak input voltage minus the diode forward voltage drop, which enables the VS-6CWQ06FNTR-M3 to handle more power than most other diodes.

The VS-6CWQ06FNTR-M3 also features a low forward voltage, low leakage current, and high peak repetitive reverse voltage (PRV). The low forward voltage reduces power dissipation and ensures stable output performance, while the low leakage current increases efficiency in power systems. The high PRV increases reliability; the diode can safely handle up to 600V.

Applications

The VS-6CWQ06FNTR-M3 is used in many applications including:

• Automotive power supplies
• Industrial lighting systems
• Power supplies for communications systems
• High definition displays
• Constructing switching regulators

These rectifier diode arrays are also used in consumer electronics and are commonly used in consumer motor control applications, such as in washing machines or power drills. Another common use is in power supplies for consumer appliances, including vacuum cleaners and refrigerators.
