VS-MURB820HM3

Diodes - Rectifiers - Single - VS-MURB820HM3 application field and working principle

VS-MURB820HM3 is a type of rectifiers, which offers very low junction capacitance, low leakage current, and low forward voltage drop. It is a powerful rectifier composed of two high-voltage diodes connected in inverse parallel configuration. Most importantly, the VS-MURB820HM3 can withstand very high surge current, up to 400A.

VS-MURB820HM3 is principally used for rectifying current and can be used in a wide range of applications, such as AC/DC conversion, motor drive and control, communication systems, power supplies, and computer systems. More specifically, it is often found in high-current, high-voltage applications as it has a very low forward voltage drop. In addition, the device also has an avalanche current rating of 400A, which enables it to withstand short duration overloads.

Working Principle of a VS-MURB820HM3

In a basic rectifier, there are two oppositely connected terminals, one called the anode and the other the cathode. When an external voltage source is connected to the device, electrons travel from the anode to the cathode, while the current flows through the external load connected to the rectifier. The voltage drop across the device depends on the load resistance, the forward voltage rating of the diode and the current through the load.

The VS-MURB820HM3 is an AC/DC rectifier composed of two high-voltage diodes connected in inverse parallel configuration. Unlike the basic rectifier, the two diodes in the composite structure offer a much higher current rating, up to 400A, and a much lower forward voltage drop. This enables the device to perform reliably under high surge conditions.

Advantages of VS-MURB820HM3

There are a number of advantages that a VS-MURB820HM3 offers over conventional rectifiers:

• Very low junction capacitance
• High surge current rating (400A)
• Low forward voltage drop
• High current capability
• Low leakage current
