Diodes - Rectifiers - Single

The AU1PJHM3/84A is a single-phase rectifier that is used in various power supply applications. It is a full-wave rectifier with a breakdown voltage of 50V, a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 400V, and an average rectified output current of 8A. The AU1PJHM3/84A offers a low forward voltage drop and a low reverse leakage current, as well as a fast recovery time. It is also suitable for use in bridge and sinusoidal frequency control rectifier circuits.

Application Field

The AU1PJHM3/84A is commonly used in AC to DC power conversion for a wide variety of consumer and industrial applications. These include: battery chargers, motor control systems, DC-to-DC converters, battery back-up systems, telecom power supplies, and automotive systems. The AU1PJHM3/84A is also useful in RF and audio-video applications, where it can be used to reduce hum or provide a source of constant voltage, or in switching power supplies, where it can help to regulate the power supply output or reduce the ripple voltage.

Working Principle

The AU1PJHM3/84A is a full-wave rectifier, meaning that it can convert AC power to DC power through the use of two diodes. When the diode is forward-biased, the voltage drop across it will be small, allowing the current to pass through and charge the load. When the diode is reverse-biased, the voltage drop across it will be large, preventing the current from passing through the diode. This alternating on and off switching of the current causes the alternating AC current to be rectified into a DC current.

The AU1PJHM3/84A has a low forward voltage drop, meaning that the voltage across the diode is smaller when it is forward-biased, allowing for a higher current flow and thus more power to the load, as well as a lower dissipation of power. The low reverse leakage current means that the rectifier will not switch off unnecessarily, allowing for greater efficiency and less heat dissipation.

Conclusion

The AU1PJHM3/84A is a single-phase rectifier with a low forward voltage drop and low reverse leakage current that is well-suited for use in consumer and industrial applications, such as battery chargers, motor control systems, DC-to-DC converters, and switching power supplies. Its full-wave rectification method allows it to convert AC to DC power in an efficient and reliable manner.
