PR1007GL-T

The PR1007GL-T is a single rectifier diode, used for a variety of applications spanning from general rectification and switching to clamping and protection. It is a low forward voltage drop diode, built with a planar construction in compliance with modern EIAJ and JEDEC standards. It is designed for surface mounting to circuit boards, making installation quick and easy. The rectifier can also withstand reverse bias voltages of up to 1600 Volts, allowing it to operate in a wide range of system voltage levels.

The typical application fields for a PR1007GL-T rectifier include rectifying the input AC source in a mono-source rectifier circuit, converting the pulsating AC midpoint voltage to a steady DC voltage in three-phase full-wave bridges, and generating a negative DC voltage supplied by a positive source in negative Full-wave bridges. It can also be used in flyback, high-reliability low voltage clamping, and drives for power switching. Additionally, a diode can provide additional circuit protection by discharging the back-end charge from a discharged capacitor.

The working principle of the PR1007GL-T rectifier is rather simple. When it is forward biased in a circuit, the anode is at a positive voltage with respect to the cathode and a hole-electron conduction current flows through the PN-junction. This causes the depletion zone to weaken and a hole-electron conduction current blooms. When the anode voltage is reversed biased in the circuit, electrons from the n-type semiconductor fill the empty holes of the p-type in the depletion zone, and current flow is blocked in the PN-junction.

However, it is important to note that the PR1007GL-T rectifier comes with some limitations. It is only suitable for use in systems that feature low forward current levels, relatively low frequency output (300kHz maximum, and high reverse bias conditions. If a system requires conditions above those of the PR1007GL-T it is recommended to consult the technical specifications before purchasing the diode.

In conclusion, the PR1007GL-T is a single rectifier diode, designed for installation on circuit boards, and is suitable for rectification, switching, and protection applications. Its working principle is based on hole-electron conduction, where a hole-electron conduction current is generated when the diode is forward biased and the current is blocked when the diode is reverse biased. The PR1007GL-T should only be used in systems with low forward currents, high reverse bias, and relatively low output frequency, as higher frequencies and currents will require the use of a different rectifier.
