The B5818LWS-TP is a member of the diode rectifier family and helps convert AC power into DC power. It is a single device, which is a two terminal element and a unidirectional device which allows the current to flow in one direction only.

The B5818LWS-TP is a high voltage surge double high voltage rectifier which has a maximum reverse voltage of 1.25kV, a forward voltage of up to 2.0kV, a power dissipation of up to 6.5 watts and a junction temperature of 150 degrees celsius. It is designed for applications which require a wide breakdown voltage range and a low power dissipation. The B5818LWS-TP is also designed to withstand high operating temperature and wide voltage applications.

Most commonly, the B5818LWS-TP is used in communications, industrial, automotive, and medical applications such as computers, medical devices, motor drives, and television. In these applications, it can perform duties of AC/DC conversion, rectification, and filtering.

The B5818LWS-TP works by conducting a current when a sufficient voltage is applied in the forward direction. In the reverse direction, the resistance to current flow increases and stops or reduces the current flow. This process is known as rectification and it is what makes AC/DC converters useful as a hardware component in converting AC electric current into DC electric current.

To make the conversion of AC to DC easier, the B5818LWS-TP is designed to have a schottky diode bridge with a low voltage drop across the series combination giving it resistance to power surges and improving power efficiency. This diode bridge also helps reduce the power loss by keeping a fast response time whenever high voltage is applied in both directions. This high voltage can come from major power surges as seen in areas with heavy storms and electrical storms.

The B5818LWS-TP also has a high-frequency characteristic, with a pulse repetition frequency of up to 100KHz. This makes it ideal for high-frequency DC power applications and high speed switching of signals. This high-frequency characteristic also makes it useful for stabilizing voltage and providing protection from voltage spikes in the communication’s networks.

In conclusion, the B5818LWS-TP is a single low dissipation, high voltage rectifier and schottky diode bridge which can convert AC power into DC power efficiently. It is a useful component in protecting from voltage spikes, stabilizing voltage and converting AC current into DC current for many different applications, such as computers, medical devices, motor drives, and television.
