Diodes - Rectifiers - Single

The CDBZ0130R-HF is a single rectifier, a type of diode which allows electricity to flow in one direction only. It is a medium power, ultrafast recovery device, designed for applications such as power supply rectification, freewheeling, and protection in high frequency switching power supplies, DC-DC converters, and inverters.This diode offers robust, reliable performance in a range of power electronic applications, capable of carrying up to 130A of average current and noise suppression. Its rugged construction allows the CDBZ0130R-HF to operate in harsh environments, such as those with high temperature, high humidity, and high mechanical strain.The CDBZ0130R-HF is a low VF (Forward Voltage Drop) diode, meaning it maintains low forward voltage drop even at high current levels. This helps to reduce power losses and heat in a system and makes the CDBZ0130R-HF a great choice for power supply rectification, power conversion, and power switching applications.

Working Principle

The CDBZ0130R-HF diode works on the principle of PN-junction rectifiers. In a PN-junction diode, P-type semiconductor material is placed adjacent to N-type semiconductor material, forming a junction with an electrical potential difference. This potential difference is known as the Built-in Voltage, or ‘Vbi’. When a positive voltage is applied across the PN-junction, a large electric current starts to flow in the external circuit, but no current flows in the opposite direction. As a result, only electricity flowing in the forward direction is allowed to pass through the diode.

Application Field

The CDBZ0130R-HF diode is designed for a wide range of power electronic applications, including power supply rectification, protection, DC-DC converters and inverters. It is suitable for high temperature, high humidity, and high mechanical strain environments, making it an ideal choice for both industrial and automotive applications. It is also ideal for applications which require high power handling capabilities, such as higher power inverters and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). The low VF (Forward Voltage Drop) of the CDBZ0130R-HF ensures high efficiency and low power losses, not only at high current levels but also during low load conditions.

Conclusion

The CDBZ0130R-HF diode is a robust, reliable rectifier, capable of carrying up to 130A of current and operating in harsh environments. Its low forward voltage drop ensures high efficiency and is excellent for applications which require high power handling capabilities. The CDBZ0130R-HF is suitable for a variety of power electronic applications, such as power supply rectification, protection, DC-DC converters, and inverters.
