FFP04S60STU

Introduction

The FFP04S60STU rectifier diode is designed for power applications, featuring a fast recovery time of 3.2µs and a forward voltage drop of 6V at 200mA. The device is available in a TO-220AC package suitable for surface mounting or through-hole soldering, and the cathode is internally connected to the heatsink. In addition, the device is designed for easy mounting and is RoHS compliant.

Application field

FFP04S60STU rectifier diodes are used to protect circuit designs from high voltage spikes and overvoltage conditions, and enhance the power efficiency of frequency converter and motor control applications. Typical applications include low-inductance rectification,ac-dc converters, DC-DC converters, bridge rectifiers, and solar inverters. The diode is also suitable for switching applications, providing a fast response time and a low forward voltage drop.

Working principle

The FFP04S60STU rectifier diode is a semi-conductor device. It has a low forward voltage drop due to its low leakage current and slow reverse recovery time. The device has a fast turn-off and excellent temperature stability, allowing for all solid-state electronic designs to be protected from overvoltage conditions. The diode also offers excellent overcurrent protection and is designed for low dissipation. When the diode’s forward voltage is above the rated level, it enters a conduction state, allowing electric current to flow through it. When the voltage drops to a certain level, the diode’s ability to conduct current is significantly reduced, hence ensuring that the electric current is kept under control and is not allowed to exceed the rated current.

Conclusion

FFP04S60STU rectifier diodes are designed for power applications, offering an excellent forward voltage drop, a fast recovery time, and low power dissipation. The device is suitable for switching applications and protects against overvoltage conditions, making it an ideal choice for power applications.
