1N1200R Application Field and Working Principle

1N1200R rectifier diodes belong to a family of silicon rectifier diodes. They are broadly used as rectifier components in circuits that require low- to medium-current capacity, and are found frequently in general electronics and control systems. 1N1200R diodes, along with other families of rectifier diodes, have enabled the digitalization of modern electronics, which has become pervasive in the life of people in the 21st century.

The 1N1200R rectifier diode, as the name suggests, is a unidirectional semiconductor device capable of controlling the flow of current. It is composed of a p-type and an n-type semiconductor material, separated by a thin layer of dielectric material. The rectifier diode is constructed to ensure that current can only move in one direction. The two main components of the device are the anode (positive) and the cathode (negative), as denoted by the suffix “R” (rectified).

The key role of the 1N1200R rectifier diode is to control the flow of current and to prevent it from flowing in the reverse direction. The maximum reverse bias voltage of the 1N1200R is specified to be 400V. The 1N1200R rectifier diodes operate under the principle of minority carrier conduction, meaning current flow is enabled by the arrival of individual electrons emitted by a base material. When the electrons are then transferred to a material of a different polarity, a negative to positive transfer is effectively achieved and current is able to flow.

The 1N1200R rectifier diodes are designed per the industry-standard “dual-in-line” package, and are constructed with low-power consumption and low reverse leakage characteristics. As with other families of rectifier diodes, the 1N1200R diodes are available in various common dimensions, from the very small to the rather large. Within a certain temperature range, the forward voltage drop of the 1N1200R remains relatively constant.

The rectifier diodes of the 1N1200R family are a much sought-after technology solution for low-power applications in control circuits. Such applications include the use of the 1N1200R circuit to build a full wave bidirectional motor rectification circuit, which can provide a convenient means to control the speed of DC motors. Other application areas include AC voltage detectors, power supply rectifiers, and automotive electronics.

1N1200R rectifier diodes are a powerful tool for designers of general electronics and control systems, offering a wide range of features and an attractive price-to-performance ratio. With their small form factor, reliable performance and low power consumption, these devices can provide an appropriate choice and provide users with an excellent solution.
