The component is designed to handle high current levels which allows it to be used in applications that require high power. The component is also suitable for reverse current applications.

Working Principle

The CGRA4007-G is a schottky barrier rectifier which makes use of a metal-semiconductor junction to allow or restrict the flow of current. A metal layer is mounted onto a semiconductor material which produces a barrier between the two materials. When a potential difference is applied to the environment the barrier absorbs some of the current that flows into and out of the environment, reducing the forward voltage drop. By reducing this forward voltage drop the component can reduce heat and increase efficiency.

The component also utilizes protection functions such as thermal protection, reverse conduction protection and over voltage protection. The thermal protection prevents the component from reaching high temperatures which could be damaging and cause a breakdown. The reverse conduction protection is designed to prevent excessive current from flowing in the reverse direction, while the over voltage protection works to limit the voltage that is passed through the component. This can help to protect the component from damage.
