15CTQ035STRR

Diodes are a type of component used in electronics that convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). Rectifiers are diodes specifically designed to prevent current from going in the opposite direction, known as reverse flow, due to their one-way current feature. Array diodes are rectifier diodes that are clustered in an outline and designed to change AC voltage or current from a single source into multiple separate outputs. The 15CTQ035STRR rectifier diode is an array diode that is used for several applications.

Application Field of the 15CTQ035STRR Rectifier Diode

The 15CTQ035STRR rectifier diode is an array diode designed for reverse electro-motive force (EMF) protection and filtering applications. This component is intended for use in harsh power environments where circuit protection is crucial. It is widely used in automotive applications such as automotive electric systems, automotive battery charging systems, and power electronics.

Working Principle of the 15CTQ035STRR Rectifier Diode

The 15CTQ035STRR rectifier diode is composed of four discrete rectifier diodes that are connected together and encapsulated in one package. The individual diodes act as the resistors, limiting the amount of current that can flow in a circuit. When an opposite current is applied, the diodes limit the amount of current reversed, thus providing protection against reverse current flow. The four diodes are also connected in a bridge configuration, which helps to smooth out irregular or unwanted voltage interruptions.

The 15CTQ035STRR rectifier diode is designed to provide short circuit protection. When short circuits occur, the device turns off, preventing further damage and allowing for easy circuit repair. The device also acts as a surge protector and is designed to handle overvoltage and transient situations. In addition, it provides protection against electrical noise.

The 15CTQ035STRR rectifier diode also acts as an inductive load protection. When high frequency, low voltage AC is applied to the diode, it behaves as an inductor, creating a magnetic field. This induces an opposing magnetic field, which helps reduce the effects of conductive and capacitive noise.

Conclusion

The 15CTQ035STRR rectifier diode is an array diode designed for reverse electro-motive force protection and filtering applications. It is composed of four discrete rectifier diodes connected together and encapsulated in one package and is designed to provide protection against reverse current flow, short circuit, overvoltage, transient, electrical noise, and inductive load. This component is commonly used in automotive electric systems, automotive battery charging systems, and power electronics.
