VT60M45C-M3/4W Application Field

VT60M45C-M3/4W are designed for use in a range of applications, such as energy management systems, frequency converters, high efficiency motor drives, uninterruptible power supplies, LED lighting, and renewable energy plants. The component is used primarily in power conversion and motor drive applications where its low forward voltage, low thermal resistance and high reverse voltage capabilities make it particularly suited.

VT60M45C-M3/4W Working Principle

This diode works on the principle of rectification. Rectification is the process of converting alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). It involves passing electricity through a semiconductor material such as germanium or silicon. As electricity passes through the semiconductor, it is inverted and rectified resulting in current of one polarity only.

VT60M45C-M3/4W is an ultrafast diode which consists of an anode and a cathode. When the current is applied in the forward direction, the electrons in the N-type material are repelled by the positive charge on the anode and, in turn, attract positive holes from the P-type material. As a result, a diode junction is formed, allowing current flow in the forward direction. When current is applied in the reverse direction, no current flows, since the diode junction is not formed.

For typical applications, the diode has an average current handling capacity of up to 1A with a repetition rate of 200Hz and a surge current capacity of up to 60A with a repetition rate of 50Hz. It has a fast switching speed of 71nS typical and a low forward voltage of 1.45V typical. It also has a high reverse voltage of 45V and a low thermal resistance of 0.63°C/W typical.
