FR10B-TP

Diodes - Rectifiers - Single

FR10B-TP is a single diode with a flame-retardant, non-reinforced polyester plastic case. It has a press-fit base, and the body finish is solderable per MIL-STD-202, Method 208. The rectifier-diode is designed to be a fast-acting, low-foward voltage drop device. The maximum power dissipation of the device is 6W, and the maximum junction temperature is 150°C.

Application Field

The FR10B-TP standard rectifier diode is suitable for numerous applications, from general-purpose use to rectified bridge applications. It can be used in AC-DC power supplies, line operated equipment, battery chargers, and power rectification. The device is used in low frequency inverters, rectified DC line feeds, and general-purpose controls and regulation.

Working Principle

A rectifier diode works by converting alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). This is known as rectification. AC power flows in one direction in a circuit and is constantly alternating in polarity. When the AC is connected to the diode, the diode only allows current to flow in one direction. This ‘one-way’ flow produces the desired DC voltage. Due to the construction of the diode, the maximum output current is limited. The maximum power dissipation of the FR10B-TP is 6W, which gives it the ability to handle most applications with its own internal power.

Operating Parameters

The operating parameters for the FR10B-TP are V_f (Average Rectified Forward Current), I_f (RMS Forward Current), R_f (Forward Resistance), V_rr (Reverse Recovery Time), V_s (Peak Repetitive Reverse Voltage), and I_PP (UL Flammability Classification Rating).
