VS-300MT180C

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The VS-300MT180C is a three-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a peak reverse voltage of 1.8 kV and an average forward current rating of 30 A. The device utilizes screw mount installation within an MTC package. Key electrical specifications include a maximum non-repetitive surge current of 2.512 kA, a reverse leakage current of 12 mA, and a forward voltage drop characteristic typical for this class. It operates reliably within a junction temperature range of -40°C to +150°C.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• Three-phase bridge configuration for AC-to-DC conversion
• High voltage blocking capability suitable for industrial power applications
• Robust mechanical construction with screw mount terminals

Bridge Rectifier Applications

• Industrial motor drives
• Power supply units requiring three-phase input
• Rectification in high-voltage DC transmission systems

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer part number against official Vishay documentation to ensure authenticity. Confirm that the MTC package type and screw mounting requirements align with the target PCB or chassis design. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the end product. Ensure thermal management solutions are adequate for the specified operating temperature range.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component when a three-phase rectification solution with 1.8 kV blocking voltage is required. The 30 A current rating suits moderate power applications. Verify that the MTC package dimensions fit the available space. Consider the 150°C maximum junction temperature for thermal design calculations. Compare against other Vishay series if higher current or different voltage ratings are needed.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This component belongs to Vishay's general semiconductor diode and rectifier portfolio. It is distinct from single-phase rectifiers and thyristor modules offered by the same manufacturer. The MTC package provides a standardized form factor for three-phase bridges, facilitating integration into various power electronics architectures without custom mechanical design.
