GP15MHE3/54

The GP15MHE3/54 is a silicon epitaxial planar type bridge rectifier module, rated for 1.5A at an operational voltage range of 400V to 1000V.

This single rectifier module is a surface-mount device that incorporates a high-efficiency, full-wave rectifier with an M4 threaded screw terminal for easy installation and a heat-resistant NEMA-type enclosure for protection against dust and moisture. The GP15MHE3/54 provides an ideal solution for a wide range of applications that require a single rectifier, such as energy conversion and power distribution, power supply design and industrial motor control.

This device features built-in protection features to guard against thermal overload, reverse battery connection and reverse power connection. The built-in overcurrent detection circuitry is designed to detect any sudden increase in current and shut off power to the output terminals immediately. Furthermore, this device has an extremely low leakage current of 1.25µA, which ensures high efficiency in applications where low quiescent current is a must.

When it comes to working principle, the GP15MHE3/54 uses a single-phase rectifier module with an internal diode, which allows a given voltage of AC voltage to be converted into a steady DC voltage. The forward current passes through the positive and negative terminals of the M4 terminal block, thereby allowing the output to remain constant. The reverse current is then blocked by the diode, and the output voltage is allowed to remain constant. In addition, the bridge rectifier module includes a filter that is used to reduce any ripple or noise present in the output.

This rectifier module is suitable for various high-power applications, such as appliances, automotive, communication systems, and other power supply design. Its minimal conduction and reverse recovery time, along with its high surge ratings, make it an ideal choice for applications requiring fast and continuous power delivery. Furthermore, the device is rated for an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor operation.

Overall, the GP15MHE3/54 bridge rectifier module is an ideal solution for applications that require a reliable, efficient and cost-effective single rectifier. With its thermal overload protection, reverse battery connection protection and reverse power connection protection, this device provides high reliability and continuity of operation in a wide range of applications.
