CMSH3-100 BK Application Field and Working Principle

CMSH3-100 BK is a single rectifier diode that provides efficient, cost-effective performance for general purpose applications. It is designed to mount on an FR-4 substrate and provide fast switching and low-power losses. The device features an anode to cathode voltage of 1000 V, a junction temperature of 175 °C, and a maximum forward current of 3A.

Features

• High reverse voltage rating of 1000 V
• Rated for high forward current up to 3 A
• Low forward voltage drop of 1.2 V
• Integrated ESD protection
• Lead-free package

Applications

The CMSH3-100 BK rectifier diode is suitable for applications requiring low-cost, efficient rectification. Typical applications include DC/DC converters, power supplies, voltage regulation, motor control, and general-purpose rectification.

Working Principle

Like all single rectifier diodes, CMSH3-100 BK works by allowing current to flow in one direction while blocking it in the other. When a forward voltage is applied to the anode, the diode becomes forward-biased and allows current to flow. When the reverse voltage is applied, the diode becomes reverse-biased and blocks the current. This makes single rectifier diodes invaluable for applications requiring rectification or voltage regulation.

CMSH3-100 BK also provides several advantages over other rectifier diodes. Its low forward voltage drop of 1.2 V, for instance, enables more efficient rectification and reduces power losses. Its high reverse-voltage rating of 1000 V allows it to handle higher voltages with ease, and its integrated ESD protection prevents costly damage from electrostatic discharge. Its lead-free package is also RoHS (restriction of hazardous substances) compliant, ensuring regulatory compliance.

Conclusion

CMSH3-100 BK is a single rectifier diode ideally suited for low-cost, efficient applications requiring rectification or voltage regulation. It features an anode to cathode voltage of 1000 V, a junction temperature of 175 °C, and a maximum forward current of 3 A. As well as offering a cost-effective solution, this diode also provides excellent performance, with an integrated ESD protection, a low forward voltage drop, and a lead-free, RoHS-compliant package.
