FML-14S

Diodes - Rectifiers - Arrays

A diode is a two-electrode semiconductor device, commonly referred to as a rectifier. Diodes are used for rectification, which is the conversion of alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). An array is a set of diodes connected in parallel or series to form a network. The purpose of an array is to control the current in a circuit. Arrays are often used as voltage regulators, power controllers, and power converters.

The FML-14S is a diode array specifically designed for automotive applications. It is a very efficient and reliable device, with a wide range of operating voltage ratings. The FML-14S can handle up to 60 volts, has low on-state resistance, and a high surge capability. It is designed to meet the requirements of the ISO/IEC 6933-2 automotive electromagnetic interference standard.

The FML-14S is an array of two 50 ampere fast recovery diodes in a two-lead package. It acts as a single-phase full-bridge rectifier in applications that require high input current or high surge current capability. This makes the FML-14S well suited for use in high-power automotive applications that require stable DC output.

The diodes within the FML-14S are constructed from a silicon substrate. They are designed to have a low forward voltage drop and to provide very low power loss. This allows for higher efficiency, which reduces distortion in the voltage waveform and increases output voltage stability. The diodes are also capable of handling high surge currents, which is important for automotive applications.

The FML-14S is primarily used in automotive applications such as charging systems, power supplies, and battery chargers. The ability of the diodes to handle high surge current allows the FML-14S to handle large spikes in power that may occur in automotive systems. The low forward voltage drop and high efficiency of the diodes makes the FML-14S well suited for use in these applications.

The working principle of the FML-14S is relatively simple. The diodes act as valves, controlling the current flow in one direction only. When the input voltage is positive with respect to the negative output, the diodes allow current to flow from the input to the output. However, when the input voltage is negative with respect to the positive output, the diodes block current from flowing, thus preventing current from entering the output.

The FML-14S is a highly efficient and reliable device that is well suited for use in many automotive applications. Its low power loss and ability to handle high surge current makes it an ideal choice for automotive systems that require a stable DC voltage. The FML-14S diode array is a great choice for many automotive applications and can be used to provide reliable, efficient power control.
