The 1N4005GPHE3/73 rectifier also finds its use in DC-DC converters and linear regulators. Its low on-state voltage drop and low leakage current make it the perfect choice for these applications. It can also be used in voltage controlled oscillators or VCOs and in analog multiplexers (MUXes).

Working Principle

The 1N4005GPHE3/73 rectifier is a silicon diode that works on the principle of P-N junction. It consists of a head piece and a cathode piece. The electrons flow from P-type material to N-type material and the direction of current flow is always from the anode to the cathode. The forward bias occurs when an external voltage is applied across the anode and cathode of the diode, while the reverse bias occurs when the voltage is applied in the opposite direction.

The rectifier works by blocking current flow in the reverse direction. In other words, when voltage is applied in the reverse direction, it causes electrons to flow back into the diode which prevents any current from flowing. This helps to protect other components that may be connected in the circuit when subject to high voltages. It also allows the voltage to pass through the diode in the forward direction and helps to regulate the current in the circuit.

The 1N4005GPHE3/73 rectifier is an efficient and reliable device for many of the applications in power supplies and protection. Its high current rating and low leakage current makes it the perfect choice for many circuit designs and applications.
