AU3PK-M3/87A

The AU3PK-M3/87A is a single diode rectifier and commonly used in power supply circuits. It is an economical and reliable solution for power rectification, enabling the efficient conversion of alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). This component is an essential part of many applications, particularly those in the industrial, computer, and telecommunications fields, that rely on the conversion of AC to DC.

The AU3PK-M3/87A diode rectifier is constructed with two layers of silicon diodes connected back to back, one body p-n junction on the two sides and mounted in a monolithic package. It has a built-in resistor that protects the diode from high-voltage arcs, eliminates current surge and eliminates the need for external resistors. It also features easy integration or hand soldering and is compatible with most power connectors.

The AU3PK-M3/87A is widely used in applications such as power conversion, voltage stabilizing, fault current limiting, and load protection. It operates as a linear rectifier in these applications and is useful for changing AC input voltage to DC output voltage. It is suitable for use in switching power supplies, UPS, welding machines, telecommunications systems, industrial control systems, and motor control systems.

The key to the AU3PK-M3/87A\'s working principle is the diode junction. When forward biased, the diode junction allows current to flow from the anode to the cathode, and when reverse biased, the junction blocks current flow in the opposite direction. The AU3PK-M3/87A features two series-connected diodes with opposite polarites. In forward bias, the series connection allows current to flow through both diodes, and in reverse bias, the combined resistance of both diodes is high enough to block current flow.

In conclusion, the AU3PK-M3/87A is a reliable and economical single diode rectifier used in a variety of power supply applications. It is often used to convert AC input voltage to DC output voltage and its two diodes connected in series ensures efficient current flow. In addition, its built-in resistor protects the diode from high-voltage arcs and eliminates the need for external components.
