Diodes are the most commonly used electronic components and are indispensable in electronic circuits. There are many types of diodes, such as a single diode, four-layer diode, Schottky diode, thyristor, and so on. Among them, single diode has the most basic structure and the widest application field and working principle. GP30GHE3/73 is a type of single diode with a moderate power rating. This article will introduce its field of application and working principle.

Application Field

GP30GHE3/73 is a pnp type diode, which is suitable for general purpose rectification. In terms of power consumption, it has a maximum power rating of 30W and a maximum average forward current of 300mA. In terms of applications, it is most commonly used in the fields of optical and electronic energy conversion, power supply output filtering, inrush current limiting, switching power supply and other circuits. In addition, it can also be used in other application fields.

Working Principle

The working principle of GP30GHE3/73 is based on the semiconductor’s rectifying character. A diode is a two-terminal semiconductor PN junction device with a characteristic of rectifying current. When voltage is applied between its two electrodes, if anode voltage is higher than cathode voltage, it will act as a conductor and allow current to pass. It will act as an insulator and no current will pass in when the voltage is the other way around. Therefore, it can be used as a rectifier to convert alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC).

Conclusion

In summarizing, GP30GHE3/73 is a single diode with a moderate power rating, which has a wide range of applications and a simple working principle. It is most commonly used in the fields of optical and electronic energy conversion, power supply output filtering, inrush current limiting, switching power supply and other circuits, and can convert AC into DC. It is a very good electronic component and has its own advantages.
