VS-26MB160A

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The VS-26MB160A is a single-phase bridge rectifier from Vishay's VS-26MB series, housed in a D-34 package. It features a peak repetitive reverse voltage (Vrrm) of 1600 V and an average forward rectified current (Io) of 25 A. The device supports a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current (Ifsm) of 420 A. Electrical characteristics include a peak forward voltage (Vf) of 1.25 V and a peak reverse current (Ir) of 10 µA. Operating temperatures range from -55°C to +150°C junction temperature. Physical dimensions are 28.5 mm in length, 28.5 mm in width, and 9.8 mm in height.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Vishay documentation to ensure correct pinout and terminal type compatibility. Confirm RoHS compliance status and manufacturing origin through authorized distributors. Request updated datasheets to validate electrical parameters before finalizing procurement specifications.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1600 V rating is required for single-phase rectification with a 25 A continuous current capacity. Ensure the application environment allows for the specified -55°C to +150°C operating temperature range. Verify that the D-34 package dimensions fit within the mechanical constraints of the target assembly.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This part belongs to the VS-26MB series of single-phase bridge rectifiers manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. The series offers various voltage ratings while maintaining consistent current handling and package dimensions. The D-34 package provides a standardized form factor for industrial power electronics designs.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Vishay parts within the same series with different voltage ratings, such as VS-26MB120A or VS-26MB200A, provided the voltage requirements align. Cross-brand replacements require careful verification of pinout, thermal resistance, and electrical limits.
