GP15D-E3/73

The GP15D-E3/73 is a single, rectifier diode produced by the company Wing Shan Technology Limited. This diode is designed to be used in a variety of applications, including but not limited to power rectification, switching, and signal rectification. It has a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 77 V, as well as a maximum forward current of 15 A.

Applications

The GP15D-E3/73 is a versatile diode and can be used in the following applications:

• DC-to-DC converter
• Rectification of AC signals
• Automatic battery chargers
• Power supplies
• Switching applications

In addition to the previously mentioned applications, the diode is also suitable for use in a variety of high-frequency applications due to its fast switching time and low static power loss.

Working Principle

The GP15D-E3/73 is a rectifier diode. As with all rectifier diodes, this diode has two terminals, one positive and one negative. The role of the diode is to allow electric current to flow in one direction only and to block current from flowing in the opposite direction. This is accomplished by having a negative potential applied across the diode, which will cause the diode to turn “on” and allow current to flow in the forward direction only. The diode will then turn “off” when the negative potential is removed.

The GP15D-E3/73 is designed to handle large amounts of electric current, up to 15 A. It also has a fast switching time, allowing it to quickly switch between conducting and non-conducting states.

Advantages

The GP15D-E3/73 is a versatile diode that can be used in a number of different applications. It is designed to handle large amounts of electric current, making it suitable for power supplies, DC-to-DC converters, and automatic battery chargers. It also has a fast switching time, which makes it suitable for high-frequency applications.

Limitations

The GP15D-E3/73 is a single rectifier diode, so it cannot be used in applications that require multiple diodes. Further, its maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage is 77 V, so it may not suitable for applications with higher voltage requirements. Lastly, its maximum forward current is limited to 15 A, so care should be taken to ensure that the current requirements are within the limits of the device.
