Diodes - Rectifiers - Single

The GKR240/16 is a single rectifier diode, which is a type of electrical component used to convert alternating current (AC) power into direct current (DC) power. This particular diode is a switching diode with a high current capacity, making it suitable for use in applications such as power supplies, rectifiers, amplifiers, and motor control circuits.

Application Field

As a switching diode, the GKR240/16 is most commonly used in applications that require fast switching between AC and DC power. This power conversion is particularly important in situations where it is not practical or safe to use a mechanical switch. Due to its high current capacity, the GKR240/16 can also be used to regulate large currents, making it ideal for use in power supplies, motor control circuits, and other applications that require accurate current regulation.

Working Principle

The working principle of the GKR240/16 is based on the PN junction – the basic structure of all rectifier diodes. This junction consists of two different types of semiconductors, arranged so that electrons can flow freely in one direction, but not in the opposite direction. When the diode is exposed to AC power, this junction passes only the positive half of the power cycle, allowing only the positive portion of the signal to pass through to the output. The other half of the signal is blocked, resulting in a unidirectional current that is suitable for applications such as DC motors and power supplies.

When used in high-current applications, the GKR240/16 also offers surge protection, ensuring that any sudden increase in current or voltage is quickly regulated, preventing damage to the device or the circuit. This surge protection is achieved through the PN junction by quickly switching off when a large current is detected, preventing further damage to the PN junction.

The GKR240/16 is a reliable and efficient rectifier diode, suitable for a wide range of applications where power conversion from AC to DC is required. Its high current capacity and surge protection make it an ideal choice for demanding environments and applications.
