BAT82S-TAP

The BAT82S-TAP rectifier is a silicon-based diode featuring high-temperature performance, reduced reverse-recovery time, low-forward voltage drop and low-reverse leakage current. It is specially designed for high frequency, high power rectification applications. These rectifiers provide low junction-temperature operation and are suitable for high-speed switching applications. The BAT82S-TAP is a device that can be used in a wide variety of applications, from rectifying power from an AC mains input to providing motor drive and control circuit protection, as well as acting as power supplies for integrated circuits.

The BAT82S-TAP is a single-phase rectifier, meaning that the current and voltage are restricted to one direction. It is composed of two diodes connected in anti-parallel, allowing current to flow in one direction while restricting it in the other. This diode is designed to rectify AC power to DC power, in a high-frequency circuit such as a switching power supply. By alternating the current direction depending on the polarity of the AC signal, and keeping the polarity of the DC output constant, the BAT82S-TAP is able to efficiently rectify the AC voltage.

In a typical application, the BAT82S-TAP is connected in series with the AC power input, and the DC output is then connected to a capacitor. This capacitor will be charged with the rectified DC output from the diodes, allowing for smooth DC output from the circuit. When the polarity of the AC input changes, the diodes also switch directions, allowing for alternating current to be smoothly rectified, and for a steady DC output to be provided.

Additional features of the BAT82S-TAP include high surge current capability, allowing the rectifier to provide power to the circuit even under higher than rated peak loads. It also has a low reverse-recovery time, meaning that the diodes open and close faster, resulting in greater efficiency and lower losses. The low reverse leakage current also means that less energy is lost in the form of heat, making this rectifier ideal for applications in which power loss is a concern.

The BAT82S-TAP diode is an ideal choice for a variety of applications, including power supplies, motor control, protection circuits, and more. Its high-temperature performance, reduced reverse-recovery time, low forward voltage drop, and low reverse-leakage current make it an ideal solution for high-frequency, high-power rectification applications. The device’s low-temperature operation and rugged construction make it a reliable choice for industrial and consumer electronics, and its low energy loss makes it well-suited for applications in which efficiency is a priority.
