BAS116 RFG

The BAS116 RFG is a single, rectifier diode designed for operation in rough environments. The diode is rated for up to 3A at 125°C and comes in a surface-mount package. It has a fast switching speed and a low forward voltage drop. It is suitable for a wide range of applications including general switching power supplies, battery charging, meters, low-end power supplies, and low-level circuits.

The BAS116 RFG features a reverse voltage up to 200V and a forward blocking voltage of 40V. The device has a low forward voltage drop of 0.4V at 1A and its forward operated temperature range is from -40°C to 125°C. The diode\'s reverse recovery time is typically less than 20ns.

The BAS116 RFG diode provides excellent performance in a wide variety of applications. It is well-suited for use in high-frequency power supply circuits. The low forward voltage drop and fast recovery time make it suitable for applications where high efficiency and low power loss are desired. It is also well-suited for use in circuits that are sensitive to transient voltage changes and/or require a high degree of reliability. The device can also be used in charge-discharge circuits, such as battery-charging applications.

The working principle of the diode lies in its ability to switch voltage and current in one direction. The diode allows current to flow in one direction through it, while blocking it in the opposite direction. When forward voltage is applied, the diode turns “on” and current flows through it, while blocking once the voltage is reduced to the diode’s reverse breakdown voltage. This process is known as forward biasing. When voltage reverses, the diode turns “off” and blocks current, known as reverse biasing. This process allows the BAS116 RFG to be used in rectifier, switching, and other circuits.

The BAS116 RFG is a versatile and reliable device which is suitable for a wide range of applications. Its high forward voltage drop and fast switching speed make it an ideal choice for rough conditions and high-current circuits. The diode’s reverse recovery time is less than other standard rectifier diodes, allowing it to be used in sensitive applications. It is also well-suited for use in low-level circuits and charge-discharge applications.
