Rectifiers are electronic components that convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). In general, they are two-terminal components that are designed to conduct electrical current predominantly in one direction, allowing a certain level of forward current and on-state voltage, and blocking reverse current and off-state voltage. Rectifiers come in many shapes and sizes, and there are many different types available on the market.

The BAW101S,115 is a rectifier array component consisting of four independent 10A silicon rectifier diodes in a single package. It has one common anode connection and four independent cathode connections, as per its datasheet. It is a RoHS-compliant component that utilizes its rectifying properties to act as a power converter and switch.

The application fields of this component are varied and wide-reaching. Due to its 10A forward current, it is suitable for any DC power conversion application, from battery chargers, LED drivers and solar controllers, to electronic motor drivers and portable electronics. It can also be used in low power applications, such as small appliance circuits and consumer electronics. This component can also be used for general on/off control with its zero-current switching properties.

The working principle of this component is quite simple. When a forward voltage is applied on the anode, the current starts to flow through the component, ending up at the cathode. This current flowing from anode to cathode is known as forward current. Conversely, if you apply a negative voltage on the anode, any current flowing in the opposite direction (from cathode to anode) is known as reverse current. The BAW101S,115 component acts as a switch, allowing forward current to flow and blocking reverse current.

The blocking capability of the component is the result of a process known as forward biased operation, which is a widely used method for controlling current flow in electronic devices. When a potential forward bias is created across the two terminals of the rectifier, the diode turns on. In other words, the diode switches from a high-resistance state to a low-resistance state, allowing current to flow. This type of operation blocks reverse current and increases the forward current by a large margin.

The BAW101S,115 rectifier array is a low-cost and easy to use component that can be used in a wide range of applications. Its versatility and ability to control the flow of current give it a great advantage over traditional rectifier diodes, making it ideal for use in DC power conversion applications.
