VUM24-05N

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The VUM24-05N is a power MOSFET stage module designed for boost converters and power factor correction applications. It integrates a low RDS(on) HDMOSTM process MOSFET, an ultrafast boost diode, and a Kelvin source for easy drive within a single package featuring a DCB ceramic base plate. The device provides 3600 V~ isolation voltage and supports output powers up to 5 kW. It utilizes soldering connections for PCB mounting and is suitable for wave soldering processes.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• Integrates three functions in one package: power MOSFET, ultrafast boost diode, and Kelvin source
• Features a DCB ceramic base plate with low package inductance for high-speed switching
• Provides 3600 V~ isolation voltage without requiring external isolation components
• Designed for easy mounting using two screws and compatibility with available PFC controller ICs

Bridge Rectifier Applications

• Power Factor Correction (PFC) boost circuits
• Boost converter stages for AC-DC power supplies
• Applications requiring integrated MOSFET and diode solutions up to 5 kW output power

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and mechanical dimensions against the target PCB footprint before integration. Confirm that the thermal management design accommodates the DCB ceramic base plate requirements. Ensure the driving circuitry supports the Kelvin source configuration for optimal switching performance. Check for any RoHS compliance documentation if required by the end product specifications.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact solution integrating both the switching MOSFET and the freewheeling diode is required for PFC designs. The integrated Kelvin source simplifies gate drive layout compared to discrete solutions. Consider the 3600 V~ isolation capability if galvanic separation is needed within the module structure. Evaluate the thermal resistance of the DCB substrate against the expected power dissipation levels.
