FGP50D-E3/73

Diodes - Rectifiers - Single

The FGP50D-E3/73 is a single diode rectifier designed to handle high power applications up to large currents and voltages. It is made from silicon material that is rugged and thermal conductive to ensure it can be used in a range of operating temperatures and environments. This device features an integrated external heat sink which helps to dissipate heat.

The FGP50D-E3/73 diode rectifier is a tool used in many industries and devices, such as power supplies, chopper circuits, high current rectification, radio and television rectification, switching regulators, UPS systems, and DC-DC converters. It is also commonly used in automotive, telecommunications, and consumer electronics.

The working principle of the FGP50D-E3/73 diode rectifier is that when a positive voltage is applied, electrons flow from the anode to the cathode and current flows through the diode in a forward direction. When the voltage reaches a certain level, known as the “breakover” voltage, the diode breaks down and current starts to flow backward. This is known as the “reverse conduction” state.

The FGP50D-E3/73 diode rectifier is designed to have very low reverse leakage current, which means that it can withstand very high reverse voltages without significant loss of forward current. This means that it is very reliable even when used in high voltage and high temperature applications. The package has been optimized to provide maximum heat dissipation while maintaining electrical stability.

The FGP50D-E3/73 device features a low forward voltage drop and high reverse voltage capability, making it ideal for a wide range of applications. Its low dynamic impedance gives it improved efficiency compared to other single diode rectifiers. It is also very reliable, with a very long operating life and a high MTBF rating.

The FGP50D-E3/73 diode rectifier is a dependable and reliable component for many applications, from powering high current transistors to providing low voltage DC power for audio amplifiers and other sensitive electronics. Its low power (2W) and thermal characteristics make it suitable for a wide range of operating temperatures and usages, making it an ideal choice for many applications.
