HSM140G/TR13

The HSM140G/TR13 is a single-phase silicon bridge rectifier, also known as a half-wave rectifier. It is a type of diode that is specifically designed to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). The device has a maximum forward current, reverse voltage, repetition rate, power dissipation, and surge current rating. It is typically used in the electronic power supply, AC-DC converter, and battery charger markets.

Application Field

The HSM140G/TR13 is a general-purpose bridge rectifier that can be used in a wide variety of applications. It is commonly used in various DC voltage conversion or rectification projects, including DC-DC converters, audio power amplifiers, power supplies, home appliances, office equipment, lighting products, and automotive accessories. It is also often used in the design of motor drives, voltage feedback circuits, and power line conditioning. The device is capable of withstanding a high surge current rating, making it highly suitable for large peak load applications.

Working Principle

The HSM140G/TR13 is a semiconductor device that enables the conversion of AC to DC, also known as full-wave rectification. The bridge consists of four diodes arranged in a bridge rectifier structure, with an integrated heat sink. The device works by blocking current through the diodes when the input voltage reaches a negative peak, and allowing current through when the input voltage is a positive peak. The diode bridge effectively filters out the negative sign while reducing the voltage ripple, producing a smooth DC output voltage.

A bridge rectifier provides several advantages over other types of rectifier circuits, such as high surge capacity, low power dissipation, fast switching, and thermal reliability. The HSM140G/TR13 is a highly efficient, cost-effective solution for power conversion applications. It is able to withstand high temperature and high current environments, making it ideal for challenging industrial applications.
