Diodes - Rectifiers - Single

The VS-VSKE71/08 diodes are a silicon planar medium-power single rectifier device designed for medium-current and high-voltage applications. It is suitable for applications such as low-cost inverters, free-wheeling and AC half wave applications. This particular device has a reverse voltage rating of 800V with an average forward current of 8.0 A.

Application field

The VS-VSKE71/08 is most commonly used in low-cost inverters, AC/DC converters for power supplies, as well as for free-wheeling applications. It is also ideal for applications such as buck converters, DC motor control, and lamp and display dimming applications. Furthermore, it can also be used in general rectification, ozone generators and flameproof ignition systems.

Working principle

The VS-VSKE71/08 features a low forward voltage drop when conducting. This diode’s main working principle is a basic rectification process. When a diode is connected in a circuit that alternates between forward and reverse polarities, the diode only allows current to flow in one direction. When a positive voltage is applied, current flows through the silicon junction. During a reverse polarity, this silicon barrier is reverse biased, preventing the flow of current.

In addition, its surge current capability enables it to withstand power transients due to its high-peak forward surge current rating. This diode also features a lower reverse-recovery time and improved performance over traditional diodes. Additionally, its glass-passivated junction has been designed to provide a high level of reliability in harsh environments.

Conclusion

The VS-VSKE71/08 single rectifier diode is an excellent choice for applications where high current and high voltage are required. It is a robust, reliable device, and provides efficient and economical rectification. Its features ensure that it can handle high surge currents, as well as providing higher reliability in harsh conditions.
