VBO40-16NO6

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The VBO40-16NO6 is a single-phase rectifier bridge module manufactured by IXYS, belonging to the VBO40 series. It features a peak repetitive reverse voltage (Vrrm) of 1600 V and an average forward current (If) of 40 A. The device supports a peak non-repetitive forward surge current (Ifsm) of 320 A with a maximum peak forward voltage (Vf) of 1.15 V at rated current. Reverse leakage current (Ir) is specified at 300 µA. Designed for panel mounting in a SOT-227 package with four pins, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +150°C junction temperature.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• High-voltage capability suitable for demanding power conversion environments
• Robust thermal design enabling operation up to 150°C junction temperature
• Compact SOT-227 footprint optimized for panel-mount integration

Bridge Rectifier Applications

• Industrial motor drive systems

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized IXYS distributors or certified suppliers. Request original manufacturer datasheets and traceability documentation to confirm part number accuracy. Inspect physical markings on the SOT-227 package against official specifications. Ensure storage conditions comply with moisture sensitivity levels to prevent degradation prior to assembly.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this module when a 1600 V rating is required for single-phase rectification. Confirm that the 40 A continuous current capacity meets the load requirements. Evaluate thermal management solutions to maintain junction temperatures below 150°C under peak load conditions. Compare Vf characteristics against alternative bridge rectifiers to optimize system efficiency.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This component belongs to the IXYS VBO40 series of high-power rectifier bridges. The series offers various voltage ratings including 800 V, 1200 V, and 1600 V options. These modules are engineered for industrial applications requiring reliable AC-to-DC conversion in compact form factors.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations
