VS-40MT160P-P

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The VS-40MT160P-P is a three-phase bridge rectifier module manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. It features an MTP PressFit package designed for direct mounting to printed circuit boards without soldering. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 1600 V and a maximum DC output current (IO) of 45 A at a case temperature of 100 °C. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward voltage drop (VFM) of 1.45 V at TJ = 25 °C, a threshold voltage of 0.78 V, and a slope resistance of 14.8 mΩ. The module provides a maximum non-repetitive surge current (IFSM) of 270 A at 50 Hz and 280 A at 60 Hz. Thermal characteristics include a junction-to-case thermal resistance (RthJC) of 1.6 K/W per junction under DC operation.

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix against official Vishay documentation to confirm exact ratings and pinout configurations. Ensure that the ordering information matches the required current rating code and voltage code. Confirm compliance with relevant environmental standards such as RoHS and material categorization requirements before procurement.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component based on the required 45 A current rating and 1600 V blocking voltage. Evaluate the thermal management requirements using the specified junction-to-case thermal resistance values. Verify that the application environment supports the operating temperature range of -40 °C to +150 °C. Consider the mechanical constraints of the MTP PressFit package dimensions and mounting torque specifications.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This component belongs to the MTP PressFit Power Module series from Vishay Semiconductors, which includes variants with different current ratings such as the VS-70MT160P-P and VS-100MT160P-P. These modules are designed for high-power applications requiring robust construction and efficient thermal performance.
