Diodes - Bridge Rectifiers, such as VUO122-18NO7, are widely used to control current flow in circuits. In particular, these rectifiers are found in rectification circuits, where their purpose is to convert AC signals into DC signals. This article will explain the application of the VUO122-18NO7 in detail, as well as its working principle.

The VUO122-18NO7 is a high-efficiency bridge rectifier designed for applications requiring up to 10 A continuous forward current. It features a blocking voltage of up to 1000V, a forward voltage drop of 2V, and a forward current of 10A. The rectifier is designed to operate in applications that require high efficiency and low noise. The device is also UL certified, ensuring its safety and quality.

The primary application of the VUO122-18NO7 is rectification. Rectification is a process used to convert AC signals into DC signals. This is done by passing an AC signal through a bridge rectifier, which consists of four diodes connected in a ‘bridge’ configuration. As AC signals alternate between positive and negative polarities, the two diodes that make up each junction in the bridge will alternately switch ‘on’ and ‘off’. This causes the resulting output to be a DC voltage. The VUO122-18NO7 is well-suited for this application, thanks to its high-efficiency, low-noise operation.

In order to understand the working principle of a bridge rectifier, it is important to understand how a regular diode works. A diode is simply a device that only allows current to flow in one direction. When the voltage across the terminals of a diode is greater than the ‘threshold voltage’, it is ‘on’ and current flows through it in a forward direction. If the voltage across the terminals is lower than the threshold voltage, the diode is ‘off’, and current cannot flow through it. Bridge rectifiers utilize this principle to convert AC signals into DC signals.

A bridge rectifier consists of four diodes connected in a ‘bridge’ configuration. In a bridge rectifier, two of the diodes are forward-biased, meaning that the voltage across the terminals is greater than the threshold voltage, and current is allowed to flow. The other two diodes are reverse biased, and therefore no current can flow through them. As AC signals alternately switch the two forward-biased diodes ‘on’ and ‘off’, the resulting output is a DC voltage. The VUO122-18NO7 is designed to handle this application, thanks to its high-efficiency, low-noise operation.

The VUO122-18NO7 is a high-efficiency bridge rectifier designed specifically to provide up to 10 A continuous forward current. Its efficiency and low-noise operation make it ideal for applications requiring rectification of AC signals into DC signals. This article has explored the application field and the working principle of the VUO122-18NO7 in detail, allowing engineers to gain a better understanding of the device and its capabilities.
