EGP-20BHE3/73 is a single rectifier diode that belongs to the family of disc-shaped power elements. Typically, this diode is used to control the voltage across its terminals. It allows electric current to flow in one direction, while blocking it in the other, which makes an EGP-20BHE3/73 diode a one-way valve for electricity. This is a fast-recovery device suitable for high frequency applications.

The EGP-20BHE3/73 is a medium-power diode in a small SOD-123 package that\'s ideal for applications where space is a premium. It has a low forward voltage rating of 0.9V (typical) and a reverse voltage of 20V. With a maximum forward current of 1A and peak forward surge current of 5A, this device also offers a wide range of functionality for a variety of applications.

Due to its small size and low power dissipation, the EGP-20BHE3/73 is suitable for use in designs where energy efficiency is important. It can operate at high frequencies, allowing it to be used in high-speed switching. It also has a high reverse-recovery time, which makes it suitable for applications where transient protection is required. The diode\'s peak surge current also ensures it is suitable for use as a free-wheeling diode in many automotive and industrial applications.

The working principle of a single rectifier diode such as the EGP-20BHE3/73 is fairly simple. When no voltage is applied to the diode, the current cannot flow through it since the diode behaves as an open circuit. When the applied voltage is greater than the characteristic forward voltage of the diode (usually 0.7 volts for conventional diodes and 0.9 volts for the EGP-20BHE3/73), the diode functions as a closed circuit and current can flow through it.

The typical applications of the EGP-20BHE3/73 diode include power supplies, motor control circuits, free-wheeling circuits, voltage clamping, and reverse-current protection. It is also suitable for use in UPS systems and rectifier bridges, where its fast switching speeds, low forward voltage and low power dissipation make it an ideal choice. The diode can also be used in RF circuits, where its fast switching speeds allow for better operation at high frequencies.

The EGP-20BHE3/73 is an excellent choice for designs that require medium-power and fast-switching diodes in a small form factor. With its wide range of functionality and its low power dissipation, this diode is suitable for a variety of applications, and is a great choice as a free-wheeling diode in automotive and industrial systems. Furthermore, its fast switching speeds and low forward voltage make it suitable for use in power supplies, rectifier bridges and other applications where transient protection is necessary.
