Working Principle

Diodes are semiconductor devices that are designed to act as a switch between two different sources of electricity. When electricity passes through a diode, it will flow in one direction only. As the electricity passes through the PN-junction of the diode, it can neither flow back in the opposite direction nor be blocked from passing through. As a result, the electricity will flow in a single direction, allowing for effective rectification and conversion.

In rectifier applications, this one-way flow of electricity is used to convert AC current into DC current. The BY228-13TR is a single package diode rectifier which means that it is composed of one diode packaged in a single package. This type of rectifier is ideal for applications that require high power surge and current capability and low forward voltage drop. It is typically used in converters and power supplies where the incoming AC current needs to be rectified and then converted into a controlled DC current.

In switching applications, the diode acts as an ideal switch, allowing for the control of the current flow. As the voltage applied to the diode increases, the current passing through it increases as well. This makes it possible to regulate the current passing through the circuit, allowing for the control of connected devices and systems. Furthermore, the BY228-13TR has a very low forward voltage drop, which means that it can help to reduce power dissipation, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications.

The BY228-13TR is a reliable and versatile diode rectifier device that can be used in a wide range of applications. Its low forward voltage drop, high current surge capability, and very low reverse leakage current make it suitable for demanding applications and general purpose AC/DC conversion. With its wide application field, it is one of the most popular diodes on the market today.
