GP15J-E3/73 Application Field and Working Principle

Diodes are electronic components that allow electricity to travel in one direction. A single diode rectifier, such as GP15J-E3/73, is a semiconductor component with only one junction, which is able to rectify alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC). GP15J-E3/73 has a wide range of application fields, including power supplies and converters, rectification of communication engineering, general power switching, and surge protection.

Application Fields

The GP15J-E3/73 is widely used in power suppression applications. This diode rectifier is constructed with an epoxy-molded package that includes a 4-pin integrated circuit (IC) housing. Its applications range from basic power supply protection and improved system efficiency to advanced protection designs.

GP15J-E3/73 can be used in rectifiers, converters, or synchronous rectifiers. It is often used as a low-power rectifier in power electronics, such as DC/DC converters, AC/DC converters, switched-mode power supplies, and voltage regulators. In addition, it can also be used in automotive applications, such as headlights, instruments, navigation systems, radio signals, and wireless systems.

GP15J-E3/73 is also ideal for use in surge protection circuits for high-power applications, in which it can withstand up to 15 kilovolts of surge power. It is also used in motor control, automation control, and robots to provide stable voltage and non-stop voltage regulation.

Working Principle

The forward breakdown voltage of GP15J-E3/73 is 15V. During normal operation, when the voltage drops below this threshold, the diode turns "on" and allows current to flow through it. When the voltage rises above the threshold, the diode turns off and no current will flow.

The reverse breakdown voltage of GP15J-E3/73 is 5V. When the voltage goes above 5V, the diode is reversed biased and no current will flow. This prevents the backflow of current and protects the circuit from damage.

GP15J-E3/73 is designed to withstand high current, high voltage, and high ambient temperatures. Its low thermal resistance and high package isolation make it ideal for use in high-reliability systems.

Conclusion

GP15J-E3/73 is a single diode rectifier suitable for a wide range of applications, such as power supplies and converters, rectification of communication engineering, general power switching, and surge protection. It is designed to withstand high current, high voltage, and high ambient temperatures and its low thermal resistance and high package isolation provide great reliability.
