1N1187AR Application Field and Working Principle

1N1187AR is a rectifier diode from the Single category. It is a small signal type diode, intended for general purpose applications. Commonly available in DO35 package, this diode carries the rating of 30V with a very low reverse current of 200 micro Amp. It features excellent symmetrical switching capabilities, fast switching speed and high performance efficiency. It is suitable for a wide variety of applications, like voltage rectification and power supply due to its superior operating characteristics.

The working principle of a 1N1187AR is based on its ability to rectify AC power into DC power. When the correct forward bias voltage is applied across the diode, it will act as a conductor, permitting the current flow. During the negative cycle of the AC voltage, the diode will act as an insulator, preventing the current flow. On the other hand, during the positive cycle, the diode again acts as a conductor, allowing the flow of current.

Therefore, after the AC power is rectified with the help of the 1N1187AR, the DC output retains continuity, allowing it to provide a steady power supply. This makes them extremely useful in applications, like battery chargers, AC/DC converters, radio transmitters, and AC/DC rectifiers. Apart from these, they are also suited for operation in circuits where very fast switching is desirable.

In terms of durability, 1N1187AR also has an edge over other diodes. Capable of enduring a maximum junction temperature rating of 200°C, these devices can sustain long-term high temperature operation without losing its performance characteristics. This feature makes them perfect for use in critical applications where thermal dissipation and prolonged operation is essential.

The 1N1187AR belongs to the Single category of rectifier diodes. It has the ability to successfully convert AC power into DC power, making it an ideal choice for voltage rectification, power supply and other applications. This diode also features superb switching speed, durability and efficient performance characteristics, promising longevity and excellent results in any applications.
