1N4586GPHE3/54

The 1N4586GPHE3/54 is a diode rectifier that is part of the single range of diodes. It is a three (3) ampere rectifier that belongs to a family of glass passivated rectifiers using stud cathodes.

This is one of the most commonly used rectifiers in electronics, as it is easy to find, reliable, and not too expensive for a relatively high amperage rating. It is important to understand how it works and what applications it is typically used for in order to make the best use of it.

Application Field

The 1N4586GPHE3/54 is used in a wide range of applications, from consumer electronics to automotive and industrial applications. It is used for general purpose rectification, particularly in power supplies, filters, and converters. Its ability to handle up to three amperes at a peak inverse voltage of 600 volts makes it an ideal choice for more demanding applications.

It can also be used in full-wave bridge products and other applications where an isolated center-tapped output is needed. The rectifier is also well suited for applications such as battery charging, battery elimination, and other bottom power supplies.

The rectifier is also suitable for a wide range of frequencies, including RF and microwave rectification. In addition, it can be used in the clamping of high voltage transients and in the suppression of induced voltage spikes.

Working Principle

The 1N4586GPHE3/54 is a three (3) ampere rectifier with a junction temperature of <200°C. It is an efficient full-wave bridge rectifier, which means that it utilizes four diodes for the purpose of converting alternating current (AC) power into direct current (DC) power. The two anodes and two cathodes form two oppositely polarized junctions, and the diodes are designed to conduct current in only one direction.

In a full-wave rectifier, the process of conduction is less complicated than it is with half-wave rectifiers, and half of the power is transferred to each of the two load outputs. In addition to offering increased efficiency and better performance, the full-wave bridge rectifier also reduces the number of components used by half.

The 1N4586GPHE3/54 has a forward voltage drop of 0.8V (at 3A) and a maximum reverse leakage current of 0.02 mA. It can handle up to three amperes of current at a peak inverse voltage of 600V. This makes it a suitable choice for any application where an isolated center-tapped output is required.

The 1N4586GPHE3/54 is a robust, reliable, and efficient diode rectifier suitable for a wide range of applications. It is relatively easy to find and not too expensive, making it a great choice for those looking for a reliable and affordable solution.
