Core Features and Benefits of Buying the Vishay Semiconductor VS-12F20 Diode Chassis, Stud Mount

  • Handles 12 A average rectified current with up to ~280 A surge capability.
  • Rated for up to 200 V reverse voltage for demanding applications.
  • Low forward voltage drop (~1.26 V at 38 A) reduces heat and improves efficiency.
  • Operates reliably from −65 °C to +175 °C for global climates.
  • Stud‑mount design (DO‑4) enables solid mechanical and thermal contact.
  • RoHS‑compliant and long-lasting performance in industrial duty cycles.

Use Cases

  • Power supply rectification in industrial and commercial equipment
  • Battery charging systems (industrial/uninterruptible power supplies)
  • Solar and renewable energy inverters and converters
  • Motor control and drive circuits (e.g., CNC, robotics)
  • Voltage regulation and distribution panels
  • General-purpose industrial electronics where reliable current handling is essential
