Diodes - Rectifiers - Single

The 1N4005RLG is a general-purpose unidirectional rectifier that is suitable for many applications, including as a power supply for various circuit elements, for power filtering and rectifying, and for pulse shaping.

This silicon rectifier diode typically has a forward voltage drop of 1.1 volts, with a power dissipation of 400 mAdc (maximum PIV) when the device is operating in free air. It is rated for operating temperatures of up to 150°C. The 1N4005RLG is packaged in a variety of plug-in modules, and is also available in a three-pin axial leads version.

Application Field

The 1N4005RLG rectifier is a widely used part for all kinds of power supply applications such as DC-DC converters, power supplies for automotive, unregulated and regulated chargers, motor drives and other electronic devices. It is often used in AC-DC bridge rectifier circuits and can be used in automotive surges.

It is also used in many computer hardware such as Motherboards. Different chipsets use this diode to limit the amount of current that passes through each of the internal components. This helps to maintain the overall temperature of the system, ensuring it runs as efficiently as possible.

Working Principle

The 1N4005RLG rectifier works by allowing electric current to flow in only one direction. It is able to do this by using a combination of a PN junction diode and a blocking, or reverse-biased diode. When a positive voltage is applied, the PN junction diode allows current flow in the forward direction, while the blocking diode prevents it from flowing in the reverse direction.

The 1N4005RLG rectifier also has a built-in reverse current protection circuit. This circuit makes sure that the device is not damaged by large reverse currents. The reverse current protecting circuit limits the amount of reverse current to a safe level, protecting the device from damage.

Conclusion

The 1N4005RLG rectifier is an essential part of many applications that involve power supplies and power filtering. The device is able to allow electric current to flow in only one direction, protecting the device from reverse currents. It is frequently used in AC-DC bridge rectifiers and automotive surges, and is also often used in computer hardware.
