FES16DTR

FES16DTR Application Field and Working Principle

FES16DTR diodes are a family of single in-line package (SIP) rectifier diodes designed for use in telecom, power and general electronics applications. FES16DTR diodes have a long lifecycle and are qualified to the AEC-Q101 stress test form – component criteria. The FES16DTR diodes are used in a wide range of applications, such as over-voltage protection devices, freewheel circuits, start up circuits, voltage regulators, etc. FES devices are designed for applications up to 50 volts and are available in different package sizes.

General Overview

The FES16DTR series is a family of single in-line package (SIP) power rectifier diodes. They are qualified to AEC-Q101, making them suitable for automotive applications. FES16DTR rectifier diodes feature low forward voltage drop, high temperature and high reverse leakage current and a wide temperature range. FES diodes have a long 6 year life cycle and are suitable for applications up to 50 volts.

Applications

FES16DTR series rectifier diodes are ideally suited for applications such as Telecom, Power and General Electronics. Because of their wide temperature range and high reliability, they are often used in voltage regulators, DC-DC converters, over-voltage protection devices, switching circuits and freewheel circuits. FES16DTR are also suitable for high reliability automotive applications such as lighting.

Working Principle

The FES16DTR series diode is a type of unilateral device, which allows the current to flow in the forward direction, but will not allow the current to flow in the reverse direction. The diode works on the principle of electric field and junction bias. When the anode of the diode is positive with respect to the cathode, then the electric field at the junction will be in forward bias and current will be allowed to flow through the device. On the other hand, if the anode is negative with respect to the cathode, then the electric field at the junction will be in reverse and current will not be allowed to flow through the device. FES16DTR diodes are designed to have low forward voltage drop, high temperature reliability and they exhibit low reverse leakage current.

Conclusion

FES16DTR series diodes are a reliable and efficient diode family, designed for use in Telecom, Power and General Electronics. The long life cycle and the low forward voltage drop are major benefits of the FES16DTR family, making them a preferred choice for applications such as voltage regulators and over-voltage protection devices. As these diodes are qualified to AEC-Q101, they are also suitable for use in automotive applications. FES16DTR series diodes are a reliable and cost-effective option for all the applications mentioned.
