VUO68-14NO7

Overview

The VUO68-14NO7 is a three-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by IXYS. It features a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 1.4 kV and an average forward current rating of 68 A. The module utilizes screw mount installation within a PWS-E-1 package, measuring 94 mm in length, 54 mm in width, and 30 mm in height. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.65 V, a surge current capacity of 1.8 kA, and a reverse leakage current of 300 uA. The device operates within a temperature range of -40 C to +150 C.

Feature Summary

• Three-phase bridge rectification architecture
• Screw mount terminal configuration
• Planar passivated chip technology

Applications

• Industrial motor drives
• Power supply systems
• Inverter circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through official manufacturer channels or authorized distributors. Confirm the specific suffix NO7 matches project requirements. Check for end-of-life status as this series may be discontinued. Ensure proper handling procedures are followed due to the heavy metal weight of the module.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a six-pulse three-phase rectification topology is required. The 68 A current rating suits moderate power industrial applications. Verify that the 1.4 kV blocking voltage aligns with the system's AC line specifications. Ensure mechanical mounting provisions accommodate the PWS-E-1 footprint dimensions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the VUO series of three-phase rectifier bridges from IXYS. The series offers various current ratings and voltage classes. The VUO68 variant specifically provides a balance between current handling and physical size. Similar models include the VUO55 and VUO82 series components.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 68 A current rating and 1.4 kV voltage class. Verify pinout compatibility for the PWS-E-1 package. Consider thermal resistance characteristics if substituting with modules from other manufacturers.
