DH40-18A

The DH40-18A is a single diode rectifier designed to offer a range of moderate- to high-power applications. Its rectifier works by passing the current through a diode – or series of diodes – to provide a conversion from AC to DC current. This makes it ideal for components like batteries, motors and lighting that require constant DC current. The current flow through the device is then effectively rectified – or converted from AC to DC – by altering the direction of the flow of current so that it only passes in one direction.The DH40-18A has a maximum forward surge current rating of 40Amps at a rated temperature of 25°C, and a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.8V, making it well suited for applications such as AC-DC power supplies, computer power supplies, LED lighting, and telecommunications. The device has a low thermal resistance due to its advanced silicon technology, and comes with a compact surface-mount package.In addition to its use in AC-DC applications, the DH40-18A is also suitable for use in DC-DC conversion, where the output current is modulated to match the required output voltage. When used as a rectifier in DC-DC applications, the DH40-18A is able to provide constant voltage across the output in order to maintain optimal conditions for the electronics it is powering. This ensures that the equipment is able to run smoothly and efficiently, reducing energy consumption, and providing reliability and data accuracy.The DH40-18A also offers considerable protection against excessive current. This is in addition to its ability to offer reverse current protection, which prevents current flowing in the wrong direction and damaging the electronics. This makes the DH40-18A a valuable asset in households involving high concentrations of electronics.In addition, the device offers a minimum breakdown voltage of 18V, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. This is further enabled by its wide operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and its ability to deliver large currents. The DH40-18A is an invaluable asset in the field of rectification, offering an efficient, reliable and cost-effective solution to common power issues. It is suitable for a wide variety of applications, and its advanced technology ensures it can handle demanding applications with ease.
