VSKD600-16

Diodes - Rectifiers - Arrays

The VSKD600-16 is an array of sixteen separately controlled semiconductor diodes with two terminals. This type of device is commonly utilized as a rectifier and an AC/DC converter. As its name implies, a diode is an electronic component which only allows current to flow in one direction and it is useful for rectifying Alternating Current (AC) into Direct Current (DC).

This type of rectifier is multi-application, and its main feature is to isolate the AC from the DC power, but also keep an optimal voltage drop on each diode and reduce the power consumption. The VSKD600-16 is suitable for applications in consumer, industrial, automotive and other solid-state products in demanding environments. Due to its capability to withstand high temperature, it is suited for use in high power density equipment, such as ethernet and telecommunication devices.

The VSKD600-16 combines an array of sixteen diodes that can be individually triggered and/or limited by applying a voltage to an internal gate. This is an important feature that allows the device to limit the quantity of energy drawn from the input AC power source. By limiting the input current, the device works as an over-voltage protection mechanism and can prevent a spike in the system voltage from damaging or adversely affecting the connected equipment.

Another benefit of the VSKD600-16 is its integrated Reverse Recovery Time (RRT) monitoring circuit. This technology monitors the diodes to identify any abnormalities and then alerts the end-user with an active marker. In case any of the diodes are not functioning properly, the device can automatically shut down the connected equipment to protect it from potential damage.

The VSKD600-16 is a versatile device and can be used in a variety of power consumers such as adapters and chargers, lighting, furnaces, and more. The device works best in applications where the power supply is stable, such as those in residential spaces and public places. With its wide-range of features and functionality, it ensures greater system flexibility, device reliability and effective power management.

In summary, the VSKD600-16 is an array of sixteen diodes which can be used as a rectifier and AC/DC converter. It features integrated over-voltage protection, a reverse recovery time monitoring circuit and can be used in a variety of applications to manage power efficiently and reliably. The device is perfect for use in high temperature environments and is ideal for use in any number of power consumers, making it a versatile and cost-effective solution for both consumer and industrial applications.
