Working Principle

A diode is a two-terminal component that uses the unidirectional flow of electrons in a semiconductor to transfer electric current. Rectifier diodes, such as the MDO1200-22N1, are among the most commonly used diodes in electrical and electronics circuits. In short, they convert AC to DC by rectifying it. This rectification process is also known as current rectification.

In the case of the MDO1200-22N1, it acts like an electronic switch, allowing the current to pass through it in one direction but blocking it in the other direction. When the anode is connected to the positive and the cathode to the negative, the current can flow through the component, and when the two are reversed, current is blocked, not allowed to pass through.

The main characteristics of any specific diode are its forwarding voltage, reverse leakage current, reverse breakdown voltage, and capacitance. These features define its performance in terms of how much current and voltage it can handle and what kind of usage it is suitable for.
