Diodes - Rectifiers - Single - NS8BTHE3/45 Application Field and Working Principle

A single-phase rectifier with the NS8BTHE3/45 series is an ideal choice of snubber diode for a broad range of applications. This diode is designed to offer superb performance and efficiency. It is created with a reliable and robust structure that ensures long term reliability.The most common application, where NS8BTHE3/45 series diodes are used, is in DC/DC converters. Here, they are used as snubbers, which are also known as freewheeling, flyback or clamp diodes. They are used to provide a secure path for the back-emf when the DC input is interrupted. The diode acts as a bridge for the occurrence of a reverse voltage when the DC input is interrupted. This helps prevent any sudden voltage spike that may damage the circuit as a whole.Apart from this, the NS8BTHE3/45 series diodes are found in various AC/DC power supplies and inverters, switched-mode power supply (SMPS), DC motor drives, AC line-switched lighting, DC uninterruptible power supply (UPS), AC voltage regulator and solar energy systems.The main components of the diode include a semiconductor body, a rectifier junction and a wire-bonded cathode-anode connection. The structure enables the device to withstand pulses of high voltage and current. It also has a low figure of merit, resulting in minimal excess capacitance. Moreover, the high peak forward and reverse current specs of this diode make it a capable time-delay fuse.The working principle of the NS8BTHE3/45 series diode is quite simple. When a forward voltage is applied at the diode anode, the diode quickly starts conducting and provides a near-zero voltage drop when the current goes through it. On the other hand, when a reverse voltage is applied, it will block the current from reaching the application circuit.To summarize, the NS8BTHE3/45 series diode is an excellent-performing single-phase rectifier which offers superior performance and reliability. This diode is designed to provide an effective snubber path, thereby preventing voltage spikes and voltage drops. Moreover, these diodes are found in various AC/DC power supplies and inverters, switched-mode power supplies and solar power systems. Furthermore, the working principle of the diode is also quite simple – it offers near-zero voltage drop when forward voltage is applied and completely blocks current when a reverse voltage is applied.
