AS3PM-M3/86A

AS3PM-M3/86A is a single rectifier diode which is a semiconductor device which allows electrical conduction in only one direction. It is typically used in applications where power rectification, power switching and voltage regulation are needed. It is designed for use in various applications such as lighting, rectification, and overload and short-circuit protection.

Application Field

AS3PM-M3/86A is commonly used in lighting applications as it offers a low forward voltage drop and a high peak current rating. The device is suitable for use in low power rectifiers, power supplies, and other AC/DC conversion applications. It can also be used in voltage regulation and switching applications. This diode provides excellent overvoltage protection and excellent performance in short-circuit, overload, and high frequency switching applications.

Working Principle

The working principle of AS3PM-M3/86Arectifierdiode is based on the passivating layer formed around the junction of the p-type silicon and the n-type silicon. When the voltage of anode is higher than that of the cathode, the rectifying action takes place in the semiconductor device. This is due to the formation of depletion layer between the highly and less doped junction regions of the diode. The current will only flow in the forward direction in this case, this is known as forward biasing. On the other hand, when the voltage of the anode is lower than that of the cathode, the depletion layer will not form, thus leaving a conducting path between the P and N type materials, thus allowing current to flow in the opposite direction, which is known as reverse biasing.
