Key Features
- 1600V peak inverse voltage rating supports high-line AC inputs up to 1000V RMS in industrial applications
- 100A average forward current capacity in a bolt-down MT package with excellent thermal transfer
- RoHS-compliant (PbF) bridge rectifier construction meets modern environmental compliance requirements
- Low forward voltage drop minimizes conduction losses in high-current AC-DC power rectification stages
Applications
The VS-100MT160PBPBF is designed for high-power AC-DC rectification in industrial motor drive front-ends, welding machines, and large uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems requiring 100A rectified output with 1600V surge withstand capability. Its MT bolt-down package allows direct mounting to a heatsink or chassis, enabling thermal management for continuous 100A operation without derating. It is also used in three-phase rectifier bridges and DC bus charging systems where rugged construction and reliable surge handling are essential.

Frequently Asked Questions
What voltage and current ratings make VS-100MT160PBPBF suitable for industrial motor drive applications?
The VS-100MT160PBPBF is rated for 1600V peak inverse voltage and 100A average forward current, providing a comfortable safety margin when rectifying 400V to 690V three-phase AC mains in industrial variable-frequency drives. The high PIV rating protects against voltage transients on industrial power lines that can reach 2x to 3x the nominal line voltage.
How should VS-100MT160PBPBF be mounted to achieve full 100A current capacity?
The VS-100MT160PBPBF uses a bolt-down MT package that must be mounted directly to a heatsink with thermal resistance below 0.5°C/W to sustain 100A continuous operation without exceeding the junction temperature of 150°C. Thermal compound or a thermal pad between the package base and heatsink is recommended to keep junction temperature within safe limits at full load.
Is VS-100MT160PBPBF a good choice for welding rectifier designs over a comparable 100A module?
Yes, the VS-100MT160PBPBF handles the high surge currents characteristic of welding power supplies, where peak current demands can exceed 500A for milliseconds during arc initiation. Compared to a multi-diode module of similar rating, the single integrated bridge package simplifies assembly and reduces the number of bus connections, lowering inductance in the 100A current path.
