The GKR240/18 is a single diode rectifier, meaning it has only a single component which regulates the flow of electrical current. It is able to pass current in only one direction and block current in the reverse direction. This component is essential for a variety of power supplies, including power adapters and invertors. It can also be used as a protection device for semiconductor operations. The GKR240/18 has a maximum voltage rating of 1000V and a maximum of 18A continuous current. Its non-repetitive peak forward surge current is 200A.

Understanding how the GKR240/18 works is essential to understand its application field and working principle. It can be viewed as a two-port electrical component with two electrodes - an anode and cathode - connected between them. The anode is the positive (or forward biased) terminal and the cathode is the negative (or reverse biased) terminal. When a voltage is applied to the device, current flows from the anode to the cathode. This is because the depletion zone between the two terminals lowers the resistance of the device and allows the current to move from the anode to the cathode.

The current passing from the anode to the cathode is blocked in the reverse direction by the P–N junction. This happens because the device’s junction is forward biased when a positive voltage is applied to the anode, allowing electrons to move from the cathode to the anode. When this current reverses, the junction is reverse biased and electrons are unable to move from the anode to the cathode. This effectively blocks any current that might flow in the reverse direction.

The main application fields of the GKR240/18 are power solutions and protection of semiconductor operations. For power solutions, the GKR240/18 is widely used to regulate the current flowing between devices or power supplies. It is essential in cases such as inverters, power adapters and battery chargers. It is also necessary in applications such as solar panels, where the power supply is variable. In this case, the GKR240/18 helps to prevent excess current from damaging sensitive components.

When it comes to protecting semiconductor operations, the GKR240/18 works as a protection device. It prevents static charges from damaging sensitive semiconductors, allowing for a balanced and safe flow of electrical current. It also helps protect solar cells from excessive current, ensuring that the cell performances remains unchanged for long periods of time.

The GKR240/18 is a single rectification diode designed to provide efficient and reliable power solutions and protection of semiconductor operations. Its maximum voltage rating of 1000V and maximum continuous current of 18A make it suitable for a variety of applications. It is also relatively easy to install, making it an ideal choice for a variety of power solutions.
