Application Field

The 1SS400TE61 is used in a wide variety of applications, from rectifying AC current to DC current, switching and protecting internal circuits, to regulating and controlling voltage. It is commonly found in power supplies, electronic circuits, and power conditioning systems. Specifically, it is known for its use in automotive applications, such as on-board chargers and DC to DC converters. In communications, it is used as a protection and switching device in a wide range of devices, such as xDSL modems and TV receivers.

Working Principle

The 1SS400TE61 is a single diode rectifier that works by allowing current to flow in one direction (forward bias) while blocking the opposite direction. It is important to note that the rectifier only works when its anode (positive lead) is connected to the positive side of a voltage source and its cathode (negative lead) is connected to the negative side of the voltage source. In a power conditioning circuit, the rectifier allows current to flow from the positive side of the power source to the negative side, while preventing any reverse current from flowing from the negative side of the power source to the positive side. This ensures that voltage is rectified and supplied to the downstream components.

Performance

The 1SS400TE61 rectifier is rated for a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C, making it suitable for use in a range of applications. It can also handle high frequency switching, with a surge current of up to 10A. Its forward voltage drop is low, at 0.7V. Other features include an insulation distance of 1.5mm and an insulation strength of 3KV.

Conclusion

The 1SS400TE61 diode rectifier is an all-around reliable and versatile device, suitable for various power management and power conversion applications. It offers excellent performance, with high surge and operating temperature ratings, and low forward voltage drop. It is a popular device used in automotive and communications applications.
