VS-MURD620CTTRHM3

Diodes - Rectifiers - Arrays

The VS-MURD620CTTRHM3 is a rectifier module specifically designed to help meet the design needs of high rated current applications such as those requiring high power rectification. It is a six-pin surface mount package and contains up to 20 rectifiers arranged in four arrays. Each array consists of 5 rectifiers connected in series, which enable the module to obtain higher forward current ratings and reduce forward voltage drops.

The module offers several benefits over regular diode assemblies such as lower power dissipation, improved efficiency, higher reliability and better thermal performance. It also eliminates the need for multiple diodes per circuit and simplifies the design process. The VS-MURD620CTTRHM3 can be used in a variety of applications such as starter batteries, power supplies, solar panels and motor drives.

The VS-MURD620CTTRHM3 features a built-in circuit protection device called a Zener diode. This component is connected in parallel with the rectifier array to reduce the risk of overvoltage damage. It also helps to protect the module from high-frequency spikes, which can occur during EMI/RFI (electromagnetic interference/ radio-frequency interference) events. This is especially important in applications subject to these kinds of environmental conditions.

Theoretically speaking, the working principle of the VS-MURD620CTTRHM3 is based on the PN junction diode. The diode is made of a semiconductor material consisting of two regions - a p-type (positive) region and an n-type (negative) region. When a positive voltage is applied to the anode of the diode and a negative voltage to the cathode, current flows from the anode to the cathode and is referred to as forward current.

In this situation, the PN junction diode acts as a one-way valve for electric current, allowing it to flow in a single direction. This property makes the diode a useful component in applications like rectifiers. By connecting multiple PN junction diodes in Parallels and in Series, it is possible to construct any type of desired rectifier.

In the case of the VS-MURD620CTTRHM3, the 20 rectifier diodes are connected in four arrays in series, improving the efficiency of the unit by reducing the forward voltage drop. This makes the module ideal for high rated current applications.

Overall, the VS-MURD620CTTRHM3 is a compact, reliable and cost-effective solution for high power rectification applications. Its built-in circuit protection, improved efficiency, and reduced forward voltage drops make it a robust solution for mission-critical applications.
