VS-VSKC236/12PBF

Diodes - Rectifiers - Arrays

VS-VSKC236/12PBF are diodes that are used as part of rectifier arrays, which are components that are engineered to control alternating current (AC) in electronic circuits. Using this type of component enables the smooth flow of current. A rectifier array typically consists of several individual rectifiers, which can be configured to enable or disable the incoming flow of current.

Application Field

The VS-VSKC236/12PBF rectifier array can be used in different applications, depending on the type of rectifier used. Rectifiers are commonly used in power supplies, inverter circuits, to provide protection in switching circuits, to control motor speed, and to provide isolation in audio and transmitting circuits. Rectifier arrays are used in various electrical circuits and devices, such as power tools, amplifiers, and battery chargers.

Working Principle

Rectifier arrays are designed to accept an incoming alternating current (AC). The device then “squares” the waveform of the current before it passes through the array. The array of diodes allows only the positive voltage to pass through and blocks the negative voltage. The alternating current then is converted into a direct current (DC) and sent on to the circuit. The rectifier array can be used to control current in either direction, but it is normally used to rectify only one direction.

The rectifier array can be configured in several different ways, depending on the type of current that needs to be controlled. A full-wave rectifier configuration uses two pairs of diodes, while a half-wave configuration will use a single pair. If a single-phase rectifier is used, the diodes will be connected in parallel. For a three-phase rectifier, the diodes are connected in a bridge configuration.

In addition to providing current control, rectifier arrays can also be used to convert AC voltage to DC voltage. Voltage is changed from AC to DC when the current passed through the rectifier is subjected to a negative polarity. The rectifier will also provide protection to the device by blocking any voltages higher than the predetermined voltage.

As previously mentioned, VS-VSKC236/12PBF rectifier arrays are typically used in power supplies, inverter circuits, and motor controls. They are also used in communication circuits, switching supplies, and various types of electrical apparatus. In all cases, these rectifier arrays are used to ensure a smooth flow of current in electronic circuits and in electrical devices.
