Diodes are semiconductor devices used to direct current. Rectifier diodes, like the BAS170WS-HE3-18, are designed to regulate voltage by converting alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). The BAS170WS-HE3-18 is a single rectifier diode, meaning it is composed of only one diode.

Typical applications for the BAS170WS-HE3-18 single rectifier diode include in power supplies, low-voltage power supplies, and automotive and commercial circuits. The typical non-repetitive peak reverse voltage for this diode is 200 Volts. Non-repetitive means no more than one peak reverse voltage per cycle. The maximum reverse recovery time for the BAS170WS-HE3-18 diode is 3 microseconds. The recovery time is the time for the diode to switch from blocking state to conducting state.

The BAS170WS-HE3-18 single rectifier diode essentially works as a predictable valve, letting current come through in one direction but not the other. The diode contains an anode and a cathode, just like a regular diode. The cathode is the negative end of the diode, while the anode is the positive end. When a voltage is applied to the anode, the forward current will flow through the diode. If the voltage is applied the opposite way, the diode is said to be in a reverse bias state. The voltage at this point is called the peak reverse voltage, which is 200 Volts for the BAS170WS-HE3-18 diode. With the peak reverse voltage, there is an accompanying peak reverse current, which is the maximum current that can flow through the diode in its reverse bias state.

The BAS170WS-HE3-18 single rectifier diode is known for having a fast reverse recovery time, meaning that it can switch between conducting states quickly. As soon as the voltage drops below the peak reverse voltage, the diode begins to turn off again. The recovery time is the time between the switching process from on to off or off to on. A fast recovery time is important in rectifier diodes, as it prevents unwanted effects on the current in the circuit.

The maximum repetitive peak forward voltage for the BAS170WS-HE3-18 diode is marked at 1.5 Volts. Repetitive peak forward voltage is the highest voltage that the diode can be subject to for an extended period of time. The maximum repetitive peak forward current for the same diode is at 350 milliamperes.

The BAS170WS-HE3-18 single rectifier diode can withstand temperatures as low as -65°C and as high as 150°C. The diode’s maximum capacitance is approximately 4.15 picofarads. The peak forward current rating of the diode is 350 milliamperes and its peak reverse current rating is 0.7 milliamperes.

The BAS170WS-HE3-18 single rectifier diode is a reliable and efficient way to regulate voltage in commercial and automotive circuits. Its consistency and accuracy also makes it well suited for power supplies. Additionally, the fast recovery time of the diode ensures that the correct current is supplied to the circuit when the voltage drops below the peak reverse voltage.
