8EWS12STRL

A 8EWS12STRL rectifier is a semiconductor device commonly used in electronic circuits for the purpose of rectifying alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). It is a single rectifier diode design of the 8EWS series and is a medium current device with a 12A forward current rating and a 50V reverse voltage. The device is a 2-pin surface mount type with a hermetically sealed package providing superior reliability and long life in harsh and rugged environments.

The 8EWS12STRL rectifier is a general purpose device, suitable for many applications including power supplies, power rectification, and voltage regulation. The device is specifically designed to be used in both AC and DC applications, making it a valuable choice across a range of uses. Some typical application fields include automotive, solar panel circuits, telecommunications, and UPS systems.

The 8EWS12STRL rectifier works using diodes. It consists of two diodes built back to back in order to allow current flow in just one direction. When AC is applied, one diode conducts current during the positive half cycles of the waveform and the other diode conducts the current during the negative half cycle. This results in the generation of DC.

The 8EWS12STRL rectifier offers excellent heat dissipation performance and rugged construction, making it an optimal choice for use in harsh and strenuous environments. This type of rectifier is also suitable for high frequency applications, making it the perfect choice for many applications.
