Diodes - Rectifiers - Single
The IDP15E65D2XKSA1 is a single diode rectifier module designed specifically for motor control and power systems applications. It consists of a module housing, encapsulated in a plastic case, that contains one diode chip and a terminal board connecting to the PCB board.
The IDP15E65D2XKSA1 is designed with a forward voltage drop of about 1.4V and a maximum repetitive reverse voltage of about 600V. The maximum forward current rating is 10A and the average forward current is about 8A. The diode also has an extended surge current rating of up to 30A.
The IDP15E65D2XKSA1 is suitable for applications in different fields such as welding machines, motor drives, nuclear power plants, renewable energy products, power supplies, computing equipment and solar energy. The device operates in a temperature range of -55 °C to +125 °C and its package allows for throughput of minimum eight pins. It also has a maximum ESD protection level of ≤ 1kV.
Working Principle of IDP15E65D2XKSA1
The IDP15E65D2XKSA1 works on the same principle as all other rectifier diodes. It has a valve-like structure where electrons move from the negative side of the diode to the left side to the positive side. The voltage difference from the anode to the cathode, along with the current, creates a "reverse sweep” of electrons that reverse the flow of current. The diode works like a one-way valve, allowing current to pass in one direction and blocking current from passing in the reverse direction. This prevents a load from back-feeding into the power source.
The IDP15E65D2XKSA1 is specifically designed for use in power supplies and motor drives, where it helps reverse the current and protect against backflow. The diode can also be used in other applications, particularly in controlling the pulsing of current in circuits, as it can quickly switch the current off and on in a controlled fashion.
