Diodes are components that allow current flow in one direction only. Rectifiers are type of diode-based electronic devices used for conversion of AC to DC voltage. Single rectifiers, such as the MBRM120ET1G, are components commonly used for low to medium power applications and have an output defined by a single semiconductor junction.

Applications

The MBRM120ET1G is a 120 V, 1 A rectifier diode with an average forward current IF(AV) rating of 1 A and a reverse voltage of 120 V. The diode is used in applications where it is important to ensure efficient power transmission, such as AC to DC power conversion and switching power supplies. It is most commonly used for rectifying AC power at frequencies between 50 Hz and 400 Hz, making it suitable for home and industrial applications. Its low forward and reverse recovery times, along with minimal noise and ripple, make it ideal for low power applications. Additionally, the MBRM120ET1G is also used in DC-DC conversion, DC lighting and electromechanical relays.

Working Principle

The MBRM120ET1G is a single junction diode and works on the same principle as any diode. When the anode of the diode is connected to higher potential than the cathode, the junction allows current to flow, known as forward-bias. In this state the voltage drop across the junction is 0.7 volts for silicon diodes. The reverse-bias mode occurs when the current flows in the opposite direction and very little current, known as leakage current, can flow though the diode. This process is known as rectification, which is why it is suitable for AC to DC conversion.

The MBRM120ET1G is an efficient rectifier as it has a rated forward voltage of 1.2 Volts and a low reverse current of 10 μA, meaning it can rectify a high voltage and current with minimal energy loss. The diode can also handle high surge currents of up to 25 Amps and has a high reverse breakdown voltage of 120 V. This ensures that the diode is well protected against overloads. The device is also rated to operate over the extended temperature range of -55°C to +150°C giving it wide applicability.

Conclusion

The MBRM120ET1G is a single junction diode commonly used for AC/DC conversion and power supply applications. It is capable of delivering low voltage and current outputs with low leakage, ripple and noise levels. Additionally, the diode can handle high surge currents and operate over a wide temperature range, making it suitable for a variety of applications.
