Diodes - Rectifiers - Arrays

VS-VSKD166/12PBF is a type of diode rectifiers array, which is widely used in various applications. It is a 4-pin Surface-Mounted Device (SMD) package containing 4 series and 6 parallel diodes. This diodes array is suitable for a wide range of applications when it comes to meet high efficiency rate and low turn-on/off time requirements.

Application Field

VS-VSKD166/12PBF has many applications in automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics. It is used in applications such as AC-to-DC peak current suppression, DC-to-DC buck circuits, energy recovery and drive circuits, LED lighting, AC voltage surge protection and static switching.

Working Principle

The working principle of the diodes array VS-VSKD166/12PBF is simple. The diodes are arranged in a series-parallel circuit that, when connected to an AC voltage source, allows current to flow only in the direction of the arrow with no load. This configuration of diodes provides a low voltage drop across them, which results in low power dissipation. The high reverse recovery characteristics of the VSK type provides an improved efficiency, since iSC keeps low at a given gate charge.

Also, it has reverse voltage protection that limits the inrush current and inductive voltage transient pulses, reducing the possibility of circuit damage due to ESD pulses. It is also compatible with the AEC-Q101 qualification standard.

Advantages

The main advantages of using the VS-VSKD166/12PBF diodes array are improved efficiency and low voltage drop, which results in lower power dissipation. It also helps eliminate the need for heatsinking and thereby improves system reliability. Additionally, it can help protect against inrush current, ESD pulses and inductive voltage transient pulses.

In addition, it can be used in temperature range of -55° to +175°C, which makes it suitable for a wide range of applications. And due to its 4-pin SMD package, it can be easily integrated into devices that require small components.

Conclusion

VS-VSKD166/12PBF has a wide application field and provide great advantages. It can help to significantly reduce power dissipation, protect against inrush current, ESD pulses and inductive voltage transient pulses. Thus, it may be the perfect solution for applications requiring high efficiency rate and low turn-on/off time requirements.
