AU2PKHM3/87A

Diodes are one of the most common and versatile components in the electronics industry, and the AU2PKHM3/87A diode is a single rectifier that can be used in a wide range of applications. This article will discuss the application field of the device, as well as its working principle.

Applications

The AU2PKHM3/87A is a single rectifier diode specifically optimized for low-forward voltage drop and high current rectification. It can be used in numerous applications such as switching power supplies, battery chargers, voltage regulators and small signal rectification. In addition, the device has a wide operating temperature range making it suitable for many industrial applications.

The device is also highly suitable for automotive applications. This is because it is designed to be used in under-hood and under-dash automotive applications where harsh environmental conditions can be present. The device has a small footprint and is packaged in an SOD-323 package, which makes it easy to install and use in automotive applications.

Working Principle

The AU2PKHM3/87A is a single rectifier diode that operates using a p-n junction. This junction is configured so that current can only flow in one direction, and the voltage is applied to the anode of the diode. This prevents the current from flowing in the opposite direction, allowing it to be used as a rectifier in electronic circuits.

When the voltage applied to the anode exceeds the threshold voltage of the diode, the diode will become forward-biased and will allow current to flow through it. Conversely, when the voltage applied is less than the threshold voltage, the diode will become reverse-biased and will block current from flowing.

The AU2PKHM3/87A is optimized for low forward voltage and high current rectification, thus making it highly suitable for power applications. Its low forward voltage and high surge capability makes it a great choice for both linear and switching power supply applications.

Conclusion

The AU2PKHM3/87A is a single rectifier diode that is ideal for low-forward voltage drop and high current rectification applications. It is highly suitable for automotive and industrial applications due to its wide operating range and small footprint. In addition, the device works using a p-n junction in order to allow or block current from flowing.
