Working Principle

1PMT5926/TR13 has a simple working principle. The diode comprises four layers of silicon material put together in a rectangular package, with the base connected to the negative terminal, the collector to the positive terminal, and the anode on one side. When forward current is applied to the diode, the voltage drop across all the layers is significantly decreased. This effect is also referred to as voltage-dependant-resistance. As a result, electricity travels through the layers and current passes from the collector to the base, forming a simple rectifier circuit.
