It also may be used in auxillary power supply applications such as laptops, computers, and mobile devices.

Working Principle

The B140BE-13 is a rectifying diode, which means that it maintains a unidirectional flow of electric current. It operates by passing the electric current in one direction (forward-biased), while blocking the current in the opposite direction (reverse-biased). The rectifying diode is a semiconductor device consisting of a PN junction. When the voltage across the PN junction exceeds a certain threshold, current can begin to flow. This is known as the breakdown voltage. The current flow is limited by the diode\'s resistance. The diode\'s resistance is proportional to the voltage across the diode and the temperature of the diode. As the temperature of the diode increases, the current flow will decrease. The B140BE-13 is manufactured with a higher-than-traditional breakdown voltage. This allows it to be used in HV applications.
