VBO55-14NO7

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The VBO55-14NO7 is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by IXYS, designed for high-power applications. It features a peak reverse voltage of 1400V and an average forward current rating of 55A. The device utilizes screw mount installation within the PWS-D package, measuring 72 mm in length, 42 mm in width, and 30 mm in height. Key electrical parameters include a maximum surge current of 750 A, a forward voltage drop of 1.6 V at rated current, and a reverse leakage current of 300 µA. It operates reliably within a junction temperature range of -40°C to +150°C.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• Robust mechanical design with screw mount configuration for secure PCB or chassis attachment
• High thermal stability supporting operation up to 150°C junction temperature
• Capable of handling significant transient surge currents up to 750 A

Bridge Rectifier Applications

• Industrial motor drives and variable frequency drives
• AC/DC power conversion systems
• Welding equipment power supplies

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized IXYS distributors or certified suppliers. Confirm RoHS compliance status via official datasheets before integration. Ensure proper handling procedures are followed due to the heavy-duty nature of the PWS-D package. Cross-reference ordering suffixes to match specific manufacturing revisions.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-phase rectification solution requires 1400V blocking capability and 55A continuous current. The PWS-D package suits applications needing efficient heat dissipation via screw mounting. Evaluate thermal management requirements against the specified operating temperature range and power dissipation characteristics.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This part belongs to the VBO series of IXYS bridge rectifiers, which are engineered for demanding industrial environments. The series offers various voltage and current ratings to accommodate different power levels. The VBO55-14NO7 specifically addresses mid-range power requirements where reliability under high stress conditions is critical.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Check for direct cross-references from manufacturers like Vishay or Littelfuse offering identical pinouts and electrical specs. Verify that any substitute maintains the same PWS-D footprint and thermal resistance values.
