5822SMJE3/TR13

A 5822SMJE3/TR13 is a single-phase, surface-mounted glass-passivated junction bridge rectifier, part of the bridge rectifier diode family. It is constructed of two individual rectifier units connected in a bridge configuration and is intended for use in commercial applications requiring high surge current capability, high-temperature operation, and low power losses. The device is designed for expansion applications in AC/DC bridge circuits for power supply and DC/DC converters.

Device Features

• High efficiency
• Low power dissipation
• Hermetically sealed packaing
• High peak reverse voltage capability
• High surge current capability
• Wide operating temperature range

Application

The device is used primarily in the highly efficient conversion and rectification of AC power. It is widely used in AC power supplies and switches, voltage surge protection, grid-tied AC inverter systems, and other AC/DC applications.

In AC/DC conversions, the 5822SMJE3/TR13 is most typically used in a full-wave rectifier circuit, where it is connected to two high-frequency AC input sources. This dual-source configuration allows the device to provide both low- and high-level rectification output. This rectification can be used to generate a dc output voltage or a dc ripple voltage for use by external circuitry.

Working Principle

The 5822SMJE3/TR13 rectifier is a semi-conducting device with a diode bridge connected in series between the two inputs. When an AC voltage is applied to the device, electrons in the negative input start to flow through the diode junction and create a current flow. This current flow is rectified and used to generate a DC voltage which is the output of the rectifier.

The device is capable of handling current surges up to 4A and is able to withstand high temperatures up to 125°C. It has a rated voltage of 100 Vrms, with a reverse voltage rating of 600V. The device is also very efficient in terms of energy usage and can reduce power losses.

Conclusion

The 5822SMJE3/TR13 is a single phase, surface-mounted glass-passivated junction bridge rectifier that is widely used for AC/DC power conversion and rectification. It offers excellent high-temperature operation, low power losses, high surge current capability, and a wide operating temperature range. The device is simple to install and will provide efficient rectification for any single- or multiple-source AC applications.
