JAN1N3595AUS

The JAN1N3595AUS is a single avalanche diode rectifier. It is a popular choice for AC-DC power supplies, low voltage series circuits and battery charger applications.

A diode rectifier is a two-terminal electronic component used for AC to DC conversion. It passes the current in either one direction or the other, but not both. It does this by creating a simple, low-resistance electrical connection in one direction, but a high-resistance electrical connection in the other direction. A single-polarity diode rectifier, such as the JAN1N3595AUS, is designed to only pass current in the forward direction.

The JAN1N3595AUS is designed for applications with a repetitive peak reverse-voltage rating of 1.5kV, and is suitable for operation over a -65°C to +150°C junction temperature range. A planar construction and its resultant low profile, as well as a low forward voltage drop, make it an ideal choice for many power supply applications. It is also designed to have a fast recovery time between switching events and a high surge capability. It is an extremely reliable device, with an expected lifetime of greater than 1000 cycles.

The JAN1N3595AUS is built to withstand significant amounts of energy, with an average power dissipation rating of 20W. Its reverse-voltage rating of 1.5kV ensures that the device won’t be damaged by spikes or other electrical events. The fast recovery time and high surge capability also contribute to its ability to reliably handle high-energy spikes.

The working principle of the JAN1N3595AUS is based on the fact that a diode rectifier will pass current in only one direction, while blocking current in the opposite direction. It does this by forming a low-resistance electrical connection in the forward direction, while forming a high-resistance connection in the reverse direction. This allows the rectifier to block the opposite-direction current while passing the current in the forward direction.

The JAN1N3595AUS is a versatile and reliable single avalanche diode rectifier, making it an excellent choice for a range of AC-DC power supply and series circuit applications. Its low-profile construction, low forward voltage drop, and fast recovery time provide excellent reliability and performance. The 1.5kV reverse-voltage rating also helps to ensure that the device can handle unexpected electrical events and power spikes.
