MURTA60020R

Diodes play a major role in modern electronics. They are primarily used for rectification, allowing DC (Direct Current) to flow in one direction only, thereby creating controlled amounts of electricity to pass through circuits. Diodes come in a variety of forms, from single devices to the integrated module assembly called an array. Of these, the MURTA60020R module is a type of diode array that is especially useful in a variety of industrial and consumer applications.

MURTA60020R Application Field

The MURTA60020R is a surface-mountable, hermetically sealed module array with an aircraft engine power rating. As a high-power module, it is mainly used in large-scale industrial applications, such as in some types of vehicles, aircraft engines, and heavy-duty equipment.

The MURTA60020R is also typically used in consumer applications where its 600A rating, along with its reverse voltage of 200V, make it suitable for use in large machinery and power supplies. In addition, it is also used in consumer electronics as well, where its resistance to vibration and shock, due to its hermetically sealed enclosure, make it particularly useful when used in high-vibration and shock areas. Finally, due to its high power rating, it is also suitable for use in high-power LED lighting.

MURTA60020R Working Principle

In its simplest form, the MURTA60020R module provides a single-stage rectification, allowing for DC current in one direction only. When powered, the two ends of the module, the anode (positive) and the cathode (negative) act as a barrier, while the two diodes control the level of voltage and current that can be allowed to pass through.

The two diodes in the MURTA60020R act as a switching mechanism—when power’s applied, they first allow current to pass through the anode, and then switch to the cathode, and vice versa, blocking current in the reverse direction. This allows a certain amount of current to be controlled and limited (based on the voltage and current rating of the module).

In addition to simply allowing current to pass through one direction, the diodes in the MURTA60020R also act as current limiters, or “current regulators.” This helps to ensure that the current passing through the module remains within the rated power range, avoiding unnecessary load on the circuit.

Overall, the MURTA60020R is a versatile and highly efficient module array, capable of handling a variety of industrial and consumer applications. Its ability to regulate current and provide single-stage rectification makes it especially useful in many power-supply applications, allowing for reliable and safe operation.
