Diodes - Rectifiers - Single:VS-71HF160 Application Field and Working Principle

VS-71HF160 is a type of diode rectifier, being an ideal component for power supply applications in the power electronics industry. It is a single-phase, high-frequency, short-circuit-resistant, surface-mount rectifier, that offers a number of benefits for design and operation.

Application field

The rectifier\'s high-frequency operation is especially advantageous in power electronics. Portable equipment and computers, for instance, require more efficient and reliable power supplies with reduced size and weight. Moreover, switching regulators, high-frequency system power supplies, and power inverters are also areas of application.

The VS-71HF160 can also be used in other technological sectors, ranging from lighting control, medical equipment to lighter automotive electronics, motor control, and solar power devices.

Working Principle

The working principle of a diode rectifier, such as the VS-71HF160, is based on the ability of diodes to conduct current either in direct or in reverse. When the voltage is positive and the anode is positive relative to the cathode, the diode will conduct current. When the voltage is reversed, the current stops.

This property of diodes makes them suitable for power supply applications, as the rectifiers use a simple component to convert AC voltage into DC voltage. As only one diode is used, the rectifier is known as a single diode rectifier. In a rectifier, current can flow in only one direction, making it ideal for applications where a DC voltage is needed.

In the VS-71HF160 rectifier, the anode and the cathode are connected to the alternating voltage. A series of alternating voltage semi-cycles determines the active/inactive state of the diode. Depending on the semi-cycle stage and polarity, the diode will be activated or de-activated. Thus, the flow of current occurs only in one direction, converting the alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC).

Thanks to its characteristics, the VS-71HF160 can be used in a wide range of applications. The rectifier\'s compact size and high-frequency operation make it particularly advantageous and increase its suitability for portable and fast-charging power supply systems. Furthermore, the efficiency of these rectifiers is also much higher than that of many conventional power supplies.
