EGP20A-E3/73 is a kind of single rectifier diode that can be used for rectifying alternating current (AC) to generate continuous direct current (DC). The device is especially suitable for electrical engineers and hobbyists who want a low-cost semiconductor device for their simple AC to DC conversion projects. The diode features two electrodes – an anode (+) and a cathode (−). The anode is the positive side and is connected to the voltage power source whereas the cathode is the negative side and is connected to the output (load).

The working principle of the EGP20A-E3/73 semiconductor device is quite simple – it only conducts electricity when the applied voltage is higher than the threshold voltage. When the voltage falls below the threshold voltage, the device becomes non-conductive. The device is theoretically always in either conduction or cut-off states. The peak forward current capabilities of the device can be increased by increasing the forward voltage. However, if the voltage tends to exceed the threshold voltage, the device may become damaged.

The most common application of the device is in low power AC to DC converters. The rectifier diode can be used to convert alternating current of different voltages and frequencies into direct current, making it ideal for a variety of small and medium power applications, such as DC-DC converters and battery chargers. The device is also used to provide a half-wave rectified AC signal to power internal logic circuits in some electronic devices. Additionally, when used in conjunction with an AC transformer, the diode can be used to power AC motors.

The EGP20A-E3/73 rectifier diode from E-TEC Electronics is a reliable device with a low reverse leakage current and a high forward surge capability. The device is packaged in a standard TO-92 package, which is easy to mount and use. It is also available in various quantities to meet your production quantity needs. With its low cost, reliability, and easy to use package, the EGP20A-E3/73 rectifier diode is an ideal choice for a wide range of rectifying applications.
