Diodes are objects that allow the current to flow in one direction. In systems that need to power an electrical dynamic with alternating current (AC), a rectified current must be produced; that is why both Bridge Rectifiers, and especially of its smallest type, the VUO80-18NO1, are useful elements that can turn AC into a direct current (DC).

AC power must be converted into DC to be used in most electronic circuits; to do this, VUO80-18NO1 bridge rectifiers are a suitable choice. Bridge rectifiers are composed of four semiconducting diodes (electronic components that allow electricity to flow in one direction only) connected in a bridge arrangement. By this arrangement, the current can flow and then be adapted to the electrical requirements of each dynamic.

In particular, the VUO80-18NO1 rectifier will provide a direct current of almost 18 Volts and 80 Volts of peak inverse voltage (PIV). The peak inverse voltage (PIV) is essential in bridge rectifiers evaluation because it determines the maximum voltage that it can stand. In this case, the PIV provided is of 80 Volts, allowing it to be incredibly useful in many medium to high power applications.

VUO80-18NO1 bridge rectifier is appropriate for numerous applications such as power supplies, DC-to-DC converters, portable and digital electronics, DC motor controls and can even be used in higher power general purpose applications like energy storage, DC welders, and solar inverters.

In terms of its construction, VUO80-18NO1 bridge rectifier utilizes so-called leaded packages, meaning, two or more physical elements or objects connected together which are then connected via wires. This, along with its small size, allows the rectifier to be easily attached, merge or disconnect from any other equipment. Additionally, the package in which it is contained protects the circuitry of the bridge rectifier against physical impacts, facilitating the installation and its removal.

Its working principle is very simple. When a voltage is applied at the terminals of the circuit, such as the AC input, a current flows in the circuit using any of the two AC positive or negative half cycles, directing it through the diodes as a one-way direction.

Once the AC input is applied, the diode works as a type of switch which will only pass the current if it is flowing in the right direction. This particularity of the diode, creates an alternating rectified current output at the terminals of the input, allowing the appliance or dynamic that needs DC power to operate.

The amount of current that this VUO80-18NO1 rectifier can withstand is 2.65 A with a maximum forward current of 3.2 A, depending on the ambient temperature. Fortunately, it does not require much maintenance, being essential to review its connections and make sure that there is enough space for ventilation.

In conclusion, VUO80-18NO1 bridge rectifier is a small, easy to use and reliable device that can provide a stable DC current of 18 Volts and 80 Volts at its peak inverse voltage. This particular rectifier model is incredibly useful for low, medium and high power applications.
