MSC015SDA120B

The MSC015SDA120B is an Integrated power diode that is most commonly used in the rectification and power switching stages in power supplies. It is a single unidirectional diode and is mainly used for rectification.

The application fields of MSC015SDA120B are mainly in high-power inverters, switching power supplies, induction heating, air-conditioning circuit, rectified filtration, switched-mode power supplies, energy-saving lamps, rectification circuits and more.

A diode is a two-terminal electronic component with a p-n junction. When a suitable voltage is applied at its terminals, current flows through it in one direction only. This device can convert alternating current to direct current and at the same time provides voltage or signal isolation.

The MSC015SDA120B diode has an area of 0.15mm2, and its rated values are breakdown voltage 1.2 kV, peak repetitive reverse voltage 1.2 kV, and on-state current at Tj = 25°C/Tc = 90°C is as high of 150 A. The device is manufactured using a special process that gives it high switching speed of up to 20 kHz and low on-state voltage drop of 0.95 V. This helps minimize the losses in the AC to DC conversion circuit.

The working principle of the MSC015SDA120B is based on the rectification of alternating current. Alternating current is alternating in nature, meaning that it has a frequency of occurrence with time. When this current is passed through a diode, only the positive part of the applied current passes through, while the negative part is blocked. This is because the diode allows current to flow in only one direction, which is from the p-terminal of the diode to the n-terminal. This current is then transformed from AC to DC and can be used in various applications.

The MSC015SDA120B is a single unidirectional diode designed specifically for rectification and power switching stages in power supplies. It is highly efficient, with a low voltage drop, high switching speed, and large area. This makes it ideal for applications such as high-power inverters, switching power supplies, induction heating and air conditioning circuits, rectified filtration, switched-mode power supplies, and energy saving lamps.
