VUO35-16NO7

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The VUO35-16NO7 is a three-phase bridge rectifier module manufactured by IXYS. It features a peak average forward current of 38 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1600 V. The device utilizes silicon junction diode technology within a PWS A package style, designed for screw mounting. Key electrical parameters include a peak non-repetitive forward surge current of 440 A, a peak forward voltage of 2.2 V, and a peak reverse current of 300 µA. The operational temperature range spans from -40 °C to +150 °C.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• Three-phase bridge configuration for AC-to-DC conversion
• High thermal stability with a maximum junction temperature of 150 °C
• Robust surge current handling capability up to 440 A
• Screw-mount installation for secure mechanical attachment

Bridge Rectifier Applications

• Industrial motor drives and variable frequency drives
• Power supply units for heavy machinery
• Welding equipment power stages

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized IXYS distributors or certified agents. Confirm the specific suffix NO7 matches project requirements. Request original manufacturer datasheets and test reports to ensure compliance with technical specifications before finalizing orders.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact three-phase rectification solution is required with moderate current ratings. Ensure the system design accommodates the 2.2 V forward voltage drop for thermal management. Verify that the PWS A package dimensions fit the available board space and that the screw mounting method aligns with the chassis design.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This component belongs to the VUO series of three-phase rectifier bridges from IXYS. The series offers various current ratings and package styles to suit different power density requirements. The VUO35 variant specifically targets applications needing reliable rectification in a smaller footprint compared to higher-current modules.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 1600 V rating, 38 A current capacity, and PWS A package. Consult IXYS documentation for cross-reference data. Ensure any substitute maintains equivalent thermal resistance and surge current capabilities.
