Working Principle

MURS260HE3/5BT is a single diode which works on the principle of rectification. It consists of two terminals which are an anode and a cathode. The anode is usually connected to the AC input signal, while the cathode is usually connected to the DC output outside voltage. When current flows in the diode, it allows current to flow in one direction, while blocking current in the other direction. This process is known as rectification and it is used to convert AC signal to a DC signal.

When the AC input signal is a sine wave, the rectifier diode will turn the waveform into a pulsed signal. This pulsed signal is usually a square wave with a fixed period. The diode will only permit current to flow when the voltage is higher than the peak inverse voltage of the diode. This process is known as diodes peak inverse voltage.
