Rectifier diodes are key components found in various forms of electronics, offering a number of different applications such as rectification and voltage regulation. Single rectifier diodes are some of the most commonly used types, and they can be found in a very broad range of equipment and installations. Among these are the EGP20G-TP type single rectifier diodes. This article examines the application field and working principle of the EGP20G-TP.

Technology Overview

The EGP20G-TP diodes are silicon semiconductor-based high-speed rectifier diodes with a configuration of two diodes contained in one package. The single rectifier diodes have a reverse power dissipation capability of up to 2A, along with a maximum continuous forward current of 20A. This makes them a suitable choice for many high-power applications where the combinational advantage of a double diode configuration is not necessary. The voltage range is from 100V to 1000V, allowing a variety of uses across different power sources and applications.

Application Area

Due to the combination of factors afforded by the EGP20G-TP diodes, it can be used in many different fields. Firstly, it has high rectification efficiency, meaning it has the capacity to convert large amounts of current into steady low-noise output voltage at a high degree of accuracy. This makes the diodes suitable to use in AC-DC conversion circuitry, such as in medical equipment, power supplies, electronic control circuits and instrumentation.

The diode\'s high efficiency also makes it particularly suitable for use as voltage regulation in circuits working in both high and low voltage applications. The stability and reliability of this particular rectifier make it a great choice for use in power-hungry applications such as charging systems, UPS systems, motor drives and electric welder.

Additionally, due to its high heat dissipation characteristics and high tolerance to frequent electrical spikes, the EGP20G-TP single rectifier diode is often used in high-capacity, high-frequency switching applications.

Working Principle

The working principle of the EGP20G-TP single rectifier diodes is rather simple. In essence, it works as a one-way valve for electricity to flow, allowing electric current to pass through in one direction, but not the other. This is why it is commonly used in rectifying AC signals into DC signals, as well as voltage regulation.

When an AC voltage is connected to a diode, its diode junction exhibits a small potential. This potential determines the polarity of the voltages at both ends of the junction. This is known as the ‘diode barrier’, and it blocks the current when the voltage is negative at the junction. When the DC voltage is favorable, the diode acts as a wavy bridge, and allows the current to flow.

The EGP20G-TP diodes offer excellent surge protection, and suitable for use in a broad range of different industries and applications. This makes it an excellent choice for a great many applications where a single rectifier is needed.
