Working Principle

The working principle of the MPG06KHE3_A/53 rectifier diode is simple. When current is applied to it, it allows the current to flow in one direction and blocks the current in the opposite direction. The diode’s internal construction consists of a cathode, an anode and a junction. When the current is applied to the anode, it creates an electric field at the junction between the anode and the cathode. This electric field causes the free electrons at the anode to be attracted to the junction and be “pulled” towards the cathode.

The current then flows from the anode to the cathode, through the junction. This causes the current to flow in the same direction and allows only the forward current to move past the junction. The current is then blocked when it attempts to flow in the opposite direction and no current is allowed to pass through the junction. This is the principle of rectification and how the MPG06KHE3_A/53 rectifier diode works.
