Working Principle

HER157G B0G rectifier diode works based on the P-N junction. It is formed by combining n-type and p-type semiconductors and is used to convert AC input power into DC output power. In the forward bias condition of the diode, the P-N junction is acting like a low resistance path for electrons to flow from the n-type to the p-type material. This created a low voltage drop across the diode to allow current flow. In the reverse bias condition, the diode is acting like an open circuit, so no current can flow.

The HER157G B0G rectifier diode is designed to withstand voltage and temperature variations. It has a high power rating, so it is suitable for use in applications with large power requirements. The HER157G B0G rectifier diode is a cost-effective solution for applications requiring reliable rectification of AC input power.
