GP10Y-M3/73

Diodes are two-terminal electronic components, which have an anode, cathode and body. They are used to control the direction of current in an electric circuit. Rectifiers are diodes which allow the current to flow in one direction only. Single rectifiers are a type of rectifiers intended for use in AC-to-DC conversion only and are usually rated at a current and voltage combination. The GP10Y-M3/73 rectifier is a type of single rectifier. This device is used in applications such as switching power supplies, front-end converters, power modulation and other AC-DC applications.

This device is available in a variety of voltage ratings, ranging from 25 VRRM to 600 VRRM. The peak non-repetitive surge current rating is 10 A at Ta = 25°C, while the repetitive peak reverse current is 5 A at 25°C. The device also has a reverse voltage of 3 V and a reverse current of 5 mA at 25°C. Its power dissipation rating is 2.5 W at Tamb=25°C.

The working principle of a single rectifier is based on the forward biased and reverse biased regions of a diode. A diode can only allow current to flow in one direction, which makes it ideal for use in AC-DC conversion. When the device is connected in forward bias, current flows from the anode to the cathode. However, when the device is connected in reverse bias, no current will flow. This means that the device can be used to block the passage of AC current through the circuit, while allowing DC current to flow.

The GP10Y-M3/73 single rectifier is an example of a device that can be used for AC-DC conversion. This device is available in a variety of voltage ratings, and can handle peak non-repetitive surge currents of up to 10 A. It also has a reverse voltage rating of 3 V, and a reverse current rating of 5 mA at 25°C. The device is ideal for use in applications such as switching power supplies, front-end converters, power modulation and other AC-DC applications.
