HSMS-286K-BLKG

Diodes - RF

The HSMS-286K-BLKG is a diode component that belongs to the RF (Radio Frequency) diode category. It is primarily used as a switching diode, useful for medium and high frequencies within the range of 1000-4000 MHz. Made of epoxy plastic and lead-free, the HSMS-286K-BLKG component is both reliable and efficient.

This diode is commonly used in more complex electronic devices such as digital TV and satellite receivers, various transmitters and receivers, measurements instruments, microwave and RF amplifiers, RF range devices, cellular technology, radio equipment, navigational and medical equipment, among other devices. With its small size, the HSMS-286K-BLKG can effectively operate within high power usage and temperatures (up to 175°C). It also serves as an efficient protector who prevents current from flowing backward in power converters and power supplies, ideal for rapidly switched, high frequency circuits.

In terms of design, the HSMS-286K-BLKG component is a three layer diode, which provides a break down voltage of 5V and a power dissipation of 500mW. It also has a lead-free, RoHS compatible construction and a low-capacitance and low-impedance performance. It can serve as both a rectifier and an amplifier and its miniature SOD-323 package enables it to be used in all kinds of devices, enabling space efficiency and more diverse electronic functionalities.

The working principle of HSMS-286K-BLKG component is based on the well-known PN junction. When there is no voltage applied, the component is open-circuit and the current can’t flow. However, when the diode is connected to a voltage source, a some electrons from the N side move to the P side, and this generates a majority of free electrons on the N side and a majority of free holes on P side. All these free electrons and holes create an electric field within the component, one that will allow the current to flow in one direction but not the other, making the component act as a rectifier.

The HSMS-286K-BLKG component is a remarkable diode component that provides both reliability and power efficiency. Its RF category ensures its perfect compatibility with a variety of devices and its small size enables it to slide in every device, contributing greatly to its design purposes.
