C2D10120A Application Field and Working Principle

C2D10120A belongs to the category of Diodes - Rectifiers - Single. It is a general-purpose single-phase bridge rectifier. The application field of C2D10120A rectifier is widely used in the fields of power supply and DC circular electrical appliances.As a kind of diode, it can convert the alternating current into direct current effectively and plays an important role in low-power applications.

The C2D10120A bridge rectifier is often used to change alternating voltage in electronic products into DC voltage, which allows the input power applicable to other power amplifying devices. In the rectifier, there are four generally used circuit configurations: full wave center tapped, full wave bridge, full wave dual bridge and half wave. C2D10120A belongs to full wave bridge configuration, which allows two diodes connected in pairs and two terminals output. Thus, it can effectively convert alternating current to direct current without the need for a transformer.

The working principle of C2D10120A is based on the "forward biased" and "reverse biased" operation mechanism of a PN junction. The PN junction consists of two semiconductor layers and acts as a "depletion layer" that isolates and separators the two materials. When a voltage is applied, the majority carrier gets attracted to this depletion layer and creates a current. The diode is made up of two junction layers, a P-Type and an N-Type, connected to two metallic contacts. When a voltage is applied in the forward direction, the majority carriers cross the junction barrier and create a small channel that permits the passage of small current. When reversely biased, the minority carriers cannot cross the junction barrier, creating an insulation effect and, thus, blocking any current flow.

In conclusion, C2D10120A is a single-phase bridge rectifier which is mainly used to convert alternating current into direct current. With an easy to understand working principle and low cost, C2D10120A is an ideal solution for many electric and power applications.
