MS104/TR12

Under normal circumstances, the basic function of a diode is to allow current to pass in one direction but block or impede it in the opposite direction. MS104/TR12 is a kind of single-phase rectifier diode, which can only conduct current in one direction. It has a low forward voltage drop, allowing a higher forward current in comparison with other common diode rectifier and ensures low power loss. The application fields of MS104/TR12 extend from the power supply field, where the rectifier plays an important role in converting AC (Alternating Current) power, to medical, automobiles and aerospace. For example, in power supply field, MS104/TR12 can be used as a single-phase bridge rectifier. It plays an important role in providing the power for switching power supplies, motor speed controllers, charging systems for road vehicles and some industrial applications, as well as providing DC voltage for domestic appliances. In addition, MS104/TR12 can also be used in the processes of curing and welding, battery charging, and LED (Light-Emitting Diode) protection. To name a few, it can be used in high frequency welding machines, paint dryers, and battery discharge and welding machines. When it is used as a protection, MS104/TR12 can protect the LED device from burns due to the overvoltage, which may be caused by the strong current flowing through the device.To sum up, MS104/TR12 is a single-phase rectifier diode, providing high power and low conduction losses. It is a versatile device which can be found in many different areas, and provide great protection when the LED is affected by overvoltage. As for its working principle, the diode works as a two-layer semiconductor material, which is designed to provide an anode (+) and cathode (-) terminal. When electricity enters the anode terminal, the electrons move through the semiconductor and to the cathode terminal. However, if the electricity is applied in reverse, it results in reverse biasing and the electrons cannot penetrate through the semiconductor barrier, therefore, blocking the current from going the wrong way. The blocking of the current lies at the core of the MS104/TR12 working principle, which helps it to pass the current in only one direction, thus, converting AC power into DC energy. In addition, since the diode does not impose any impedance, it does not decrease the signal or voltage level that is put into a circuit, allowing not signal distortion and signal loss. In conclusion, MS104/TR12 is a versatile single-phase rectifier diode, which is found in many different areas and applications. Its basic working principle involves the blocking of a current from going the wrong way, which helps it convert AC power into DC energy. With its capability to block at high temperature, as well as its high forward voltage drop and low conduction losses. MSI04/TR12 can be used for different types of rectification circuits, providing effective protection in applications such as LED protection.
