NUR460P/L03U

NUR460P/L03U is a single rectifier silicon diode developed by ON Semiconductor. It provides high current carrying capability and low voltage drop. It is widely used in electric equipment and other electronic products.

The NUR460P/L03U diode offers many advantages for its applications, such as low forward voltage drop, low reverse leakage current, low cost, and good electrical and thermal characteristics. The diode has a small package, low profile, and easy installation. Additionally, its low capacitance of 2pF makes it suitable for high-frequency switching applications.

The NUR460P/L03U is mainly used in rectifying AC power to DC power, DC protection from short-circuits, and as a free-wheeling diode in motor and power circuits.

The most common application for the NUR460P/L03U diode is as a bridge rectifier to convert AC power to DC power. It can be used for full wave rectification and half wave rectification. The diode can also be used for single phase rectification. In addition, it can be used as a free-wheeling diode and for other power circuitry applications.

The working principle of the NUR460P/L03U diode is based on the PN junction. The PN junction is a junction between two different types of semiconductor materials. In the diode, a P type material is connected to a N type material. When an external voltage source is applied to the PN junction, charge carriers are driven across the junction due to the voltage generated. This causes a current to flow across the junction, allowing the diode to act as a one way valve and allowing only current to flow in one direction.

The NUR460P/L03U diode is a versatile device suitable for many different applications. It can be used for full wave rectification, half wave rectification, AC to DC power conversion, DC protection from short-circuits, and as a free-wheeling diode in motor and power circuits. The diode has low voltage drop, low leakage current, and low capacitance, making it suitable for high-frequency switching applications. It is a low-cost device that is easy to install and provides good electrical and thermal characteristics.
