CSICD10-1200 BK

The CSICD10-1200BK diode is classified as a single rectifier diode. It performs one basic function which is to allow DC current to flow in one direction only and block current in the opposite direction. It is a two-terminal device with two elements (anode + and cathode -). It is unidirectional in that it only conducts in one direction, thus rectifying the incoming ac wave to dc. The forward voltage drop of the device is typically around 0.7 volts. Every semiconductor diode is unique, with different parameters such as terminal capacitance and dynamic resistance.

The main applications of this diode include rectification, voltage regulation, signal switching and protection circuits. It is suitable for applications such as AC-DC converters, choppers, power converters, power rectifiers, and snubbers. It is additionally used in motor control circuits and motor braking circuits; in medical and industrial electronic power supply equipment; in electrodomestics for washing machines, refrigerators and microwave ovens; and in supervisory systems for monitoring voltage and current levels.

The working principle of the CSICD10-1200BK is based on the semiconductor junction diode. It consists of differently doped N-type and P-type materials which form a junction. When the anode is made more positive than the cathode, a forward current flows. The forward current I is related to the voltage V by the well known Diode Equation, where the forward voltage drop of the device is the main contributor of the equation. As the forward voltage rises, the forward current rises exponentially.

In addition to the current-voltage curve described by the diode equation, there is a significant variation in current-voltage curves between different diodes which depend on their construction and materials. The reverse current-voltage characteristics also vary in the same way.
