VS-70MT160PBPBF

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The VS-70MT160PBPBF is a three-phase bridge rectifier module manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It provides an average output current (Io) of 75 A at a case temperature of 80 °C and withstands a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 1600 V. The device features a low forward voltage drop with a maximum value of 1.45 V per junction at TJ = 25 °C. It utilizes a 12-MTPB package designed for direct heatsink mounting, offering a thermal resistance from junction to case of 0.23 K/W per module. The component supports a storage and operating junction temperature range of -40 °C to +150 °C.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• Low profile MTPB package optimized for space-saving electrical layouts
• Direct mounting capability to heatsinks with low junction-to-case thermal resistance
• High insulation voltage rating of 3500 V RMS between terminals and base
• UL approved file E78996 for industrial level qualification

Bridge Rectifier Applications

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

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm pin configuration. The 'PB' designation indicates round pins, while 'PA' denotes flat pins. Ensure the PbF suffix is present to confirm lead-free compliance. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to validate authenticity and traceability before procurement.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this module when a 75 A continuous current rating at 80 °C case temperature is required. Verify that the system can accommodate the 1600 V reverse voltage rating. Consider the 0.23 K/W thermal resistance for heatsink calculations. Confirm mechanical compatibility with the 12-MTPB footprint and ensure the application requires round pin termination rather than flat pins.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This component belongs to the VS-40MT160P.PbF, VS-70MT160P.PbF, and VS-100MT160P.PbF series of three-phase bridge power modules. These devices are engineered for high-efficiency rectification in industrial environments. The series shares common packaging characteristics and insulation ratings, differing primarily in current handling capabilities ranging from 45 A to 100 A.
