VS-70MT160PAPBF

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The VS-70MT160PAPBF is a three-phase bridge rectifier module manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 1600 V and a maximum DC output current (IO) of 75 A at a case temperature of 80 °C. The device utilizes an MTP package with flat pins, providing direct mounting to heatsinks. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward voltage drop (VFM) of 1.45 V at TJ = 25 °C and a junction-to-case thermal resistance (RthJC) of 0.23 K/W per module. The insulation voltage is rated at 3500 V RMS.

• Direct mounting capability to heatsinks
• Flat pin versions with PCB solderable terminals
• Low junction to case thermal resistance

Bridge Rectifier Applications

• Power conversion machines
• Welding equipment
• Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)
• Switching Mode Power Supplies (SMPS)
• Motor drives

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm terminal configuration. The 'A' suffix indicates flat pins, while 'B' denotes round pins. Ensure the PbF designation aligns with lead-free compliance requirements for the target assembly process. Cross-reference the full part number with manufacturer datasheets to validate all electrical ratings before procurement.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component based on the required 75 A current rating and 1600 V blocking voltage. Evaluate the thermal management strategy using the 0.23 K/W junction-to-case thermal resistance value. Confirm that the application environment supports the specified operating temperature range of -40 °C to +150 °C. Verify compatibility with the flat pin mounting style for the intended PCB or chassis layout.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This module belongs to the VS-40MT160P.PbF, VS-70MT160P.PbF, and VS-100MT160P.PbF series of three-phase bridge power modules. These components are engineered for industrial-level reliability and efficiency. The series offers varying current ratings from 45 A to 100 A within the same compact MTP package family, allowing for standardized mechanical designs across different power levels.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same Vishay series include VS-40MT160PAPBF and VS-100MT160PAPBF, provided current ratings meet application needs. Other manufacturers offering similar 75 A, 1600 V three-phase bridge modules in MTP packages may serve as alternatives if electrical and thermal specifications match exactly.
