BYG21MHM2G

The BYG21MHM2G is a single common cathode diode rectifier with a working voltage of 200 V and a single power maximum continuous forward current of 2A. It is designed for alternative current (AC) to direct current (DC) conversion, with various features that make it suitable for a range of applications.

The BYG21MHM2G offers excellent reverse leakage current, which makes it well suited for applications where minimal leakage current is desirable, such as radio receivers and other low power devices. Its fast switching speed is also suitable for use in power supplies and other circuits requiring frequency conversion.

The BYG21MHM2G is also well suited for use in lightning protection and power switching, due to its fast reaction speed when exposed to high peak currents. These characteristics make it a popular choice for applications such as power adapters, ballasts and LED lighting.

The BYG21MHM2G works by using a single internal barrier junction to convert AC to DC. The device is designed to allow only half of the AC waveform to pass through, which is then rectified into DC by the internal barrier junction. This is accomplished by applying a voltage to the diode, which causes current to flow in one direction and not the other. The voltage level of the waveform determines the amount of current that passes through the rectifier, with higher voltages resulting in increased current.

The BYG21MHM2G also has a number of other features, such as an overload protection diode, which prevents the device from being damaged during large inrush current applications, as well as a thermal overload protection which prevents the device from being damaged in high-temperature applications. The BYG21MHM2G also has a low output capacitance, allowing for improved high-frequency rectification.

In summary, the BYG21MHM2G is a single common cathode diode rectifier which is suitable for applications where low leakage current, fast switching speed and overload protection are required. It is designed for AC to DC conversion, and can be used in a variety of applications, including radio receivers, power supplies, lightning protection and power switching.
