VS-VSKJ166/16PBF

Diodes - Rectifiers - Arrays

VS-VSKJ166/16PBF are a type of axial power diodes, or rectifiers. Their use as rectifiers is twofold: firstly, for conversion of alternating current to direct current, or AC to DC conversion, and secondly, for voltage suppression or rectification. This helps to ensure that whatever type of power is being utilized, the device is not exposed to an unsafe level of voltage or current.

Rectifiers are commonly used in a broad range of applications, particularly where AC power must be converted to DC power. They are used to power electric motors, electric heaters, battery chargers, and various electronic devices. In addition, rectifiers can be used to detect and rectify voltage spikes and surges.

The operation of an axial power diode is based on the principle of a diode’s semiconductor properties. A semiconductor junction is formed when an n-type region of a semiconductor is placed in contact with a p-type region. This junction acts as a two-way valve, allowing current to flow in one direction, but blocking it when the reverse polarity is applied.

The VS-VSKJ166/16PBF is a high-power, low-cost diode which utilizes a hermetically sealed semiconductor junction and is capable of blocking voltage up to 1600V and allows for a continuous forward current up to 40A. This type of diode, along with many other rectifiers and diodes, is extensively used in modern electric appliances and power supplies, automotive electronics, and industrial power applications.

The working principle of the VS-VSKJ166/16PBF is basically the same as that of conventional power diodes. As the reverse voltage across the diode increases, the electric field pulls narrower energy states away from the junction, which reduces the reverse leakage current and assists in maintaining an uninterrupted flow of current through the diode. On the other side, when forward bias is applied, the electric field acts in the opposite direction and assists in current flow through the device.

In summary, the VS-VSKJ166/16PBF is a type of axial power diode that is useful for both AC to DC conversion and voltage suppression. It is designed to provide a high power, low-cost solution for various electric, automotive, and industrial applications. Its operation is based on the principle of a diode’s semiconductor properties and it utilizes a hermetically sealed semiconductor junction. The working principle of the device is the same as that of conventional power diodes, where an electric field assists in current flow when a forward bias is applied and helps reduce reverse leakage when a reverse voltage is applied.
