With good temperature stability, the diode can work at up to 175°C junction temperature.

The GI812HE3/54 features an 800V blocking voltage, 1.5A forward current, SOA of 30A, and a reverse current of 5mA. This device is particularly suited for use in switching power supplies, DC/DC converters and automotive applications.

The working principle of the diode is fairly straightforward. When a positive bias is applied to the anode, electrons from the cathode drift towards the anode, so carriers can pass between them. This creates a positive current that flows from the anode to the cathode in the form of electrons. The effect is that the current passes through the diode and only flows in one direction. This phenomenon is known as rectification, which is what the GI812HE3/54 is designed to do.

In summary, the GI812HE3/54 is a single diode rectifier that is ideal for automotive and industrial applications. It has a wide range of uses due to its robust construction, good temperature stability and fast switching capabilities. This diode has an 800V blocking voltage and 1.5A forward current, offering designers efficient and reliable designs. The working principle of the diode is based on rectification, where a positive bias on the anode creates a positive current that passes through the diode and only flows in one direction.
