CTLSH01-30L TR Discrete Semiconductor Products

Diodes - Rectifiers - Single

The CTLSH01-30L TR Rectifiers diode is a single-pole, forward blocking device which produces a higher peak inverse voltage than the standard rectifiers. It is used to prevent current back-flow during the reverse cycle and can be used for applications such as voltage regulation, high voltage AC-DC conversion, commutation, and rectification.

Application Field

The CTLSH01-30L TR Rectifiers diode is suitable for use in high voltage applications, such as single-phase power supplies, full-wave or bridge rectifiers and voltage multiplier circuits. Its low forward voltage drop makes it ideal for operation with low voltage AC power sources and high power levels. It is also suitable for use in DC-DC converters and motor drives.

The diode can also be used in industrial, home appliance, and automotive applications as a full-wave rectifier, line-by-pass diode, freewheeling diode, polarity protection, temperature compensation and various other protection circuits.

Working Principle

The working principle of the CTLSH01-30L TR Rectifiers diode is based on the fact that it is a unidirectional device. With forward bias applied, the diode is in a “ON” state, allowing current to flow through the diode’s “ON” region and blocking current flow in the opposite direction. In the reverse bias condition, current is blocked, with only a small leakage current flowing.

When the anode is positive with respect to the cathode, the diode is forward biased and it starts to conduct current, allowing current to flow freely through the device. This is known as forward conduction, and is the most common operating mode of the diode. At higher voltages, the diode starts to work as a voltage clamp and the voltage across the device remains constant.

When the cathode is positive with respect to the anode, the diode is reverse biased and it stops current from flowing. This is known as reverse blocking, and is important for applications such as polarity protection and freewheeling. At higher voltages, the reverse blocking capacity also increases.

The CTLSH01-30L TR Rectifiers diode also features low forward voltage drop and reverse current rating, enabling it to handle high power and voltage fluctuations with minimal power loss. It also features high surge capability, allowing it to withstand short-term peak-power conditions.

Conclusion

The CTLSH01-30L TR Rectifiers diode is a single-pole, forward blocking device which produces a high peak inverse voltage. It is suitable for use in high voltage, single-phase power supplies, full-wave or bridge rectifiers and voltage multiplier circuits. It has low forward voltage drop and reverse current rating, enabling it to handle high power and voltage fluctuations with minimal power loss. The working principle of the diode is based on its unidirectional character, allowing current to flow in one direction and blocking current flow in the opposite direction.
