• High thermal conductivity encapsulated module design
• Electrically insulated case with center hole for mechanical fixing

Bridge Rectifier Applications

• Industrial motor drives
• Power supply units
• General purpose rectification circuits

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer part number against official datasheets before ordering. Confirm RoHS compliance status and environmental classifications. Check for any recent Product Change Notifications (PCN) regarding assembly origin or material changes. Ensure terminal type matches the intended PCB layout requirements.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust three-phase rectification solution is required. The D-63 package offers a compact form factor suitable for space-constrained designs. Verify that the 35 A current rating and 1.2 kV voltage withstand capability align with the system's electrical demands and thermal management strategy.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This component belongs to the VS-36MT series of three-phase bridge rectifiers. It shares similar packaging and mounting characteristics with other models in the series, such as the VS-26MT120 and VS-36MT40, differing primarily in voltage ratings and current capacities within the same physical footprint family.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include VS-26MT120 for lower current applications or VS-36MT40 for lower voltage requirements. Cross-brand equivalents must match the D-63 package dimensions and terminal configuration to ensure compatibility.
