It can also be used in high frequency rectifying circuits for energy-saving semiconductor lamps, high frequency generators, rectifying AC input in short wave receiver and so on.

Working Principle

Diodes are electronic devices that allow current to flow in one direction only. AU3PJHM3/87A is a type of rectifier diode that is used to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). In rectifying circuits, they can be used to smooth out AC voltage in rectifiers and power supplies and protect equipment by blocking the flow of current in one direction.

The basic function of the AU3PJHM3/87A diode is to convert AC to DC power. When connected to an AC signal, it allows current to flow in only one direction, and blocks it in the other. This process is known as rectification and allows the AU3PJHM3/87A diode to be used in power supplies and other circuits where DC power is required.

The way it works is by using the diode’s specific breakdown voltage, determined by its design. When forward bias is applied to the diode, it induces a low forward voltage drop and allows current to flow through. When unidirectional voltage is applied, the diode becomes reverse biased and acts as an open switch which blocks the flow of current in the reverse direction.

Conclusion

AU3PJHM3/87A is a high-speed, low power, low voltage, ultra thin rectifier diode that is widely used in high frequency rectification circuit. It can be used in low frequency rectifying devices, high frequency rectifying circuits, and power supplies. It works by using its specific breakdown voltage, determined by its design, to convert AC to DC power. This allows current to flow in one direction while blocking it in the other, which is known as rectification.
