R4280TS

Diodes - Rectifiers - Single

The rectifier is an electronic component that is widely used in electrical and electronic circuits to produce rectified voltage. The key component of rectification is the diode. Among many types of single diodes, the R4280TS rectifier is one of the most widely used components. In this article, we will introduce the application field and working principle of the R4280TS.

Application Field of R4280TS

The R4280TS is a single diode with a maximum forward current of 800A and a reverse voltage rating of 1200V. It is mainly used in high voltage, high current switching power supply circuits and AC rectification circuits. Moreover, it can also be used in electronic engineering to make bidirectional conversion circuit for controlling DC motors, etc. Moreover, the leakage current of the R4280TS is so low (<1mA) that it is widely used as an interference suppressor in many special electronic circuits.

Working Principle of R4280TS

The R4280TS is a single diode, so its electrical characteristics are quite simple. When the anode voltage of the diode is greater than the cathode voltage, the diode will be in a conducting state, and current will be able to flow through it. This is when the diode is said to be in the forward conduction state. On the other hand, when the anode voltage is lower than the cathode voltage, the diode will be in a blocking state, and no current will be able to pass through it. This is when the diode is said to be in the reverse blocking state.

In summary, the R4280TS is a single diode commonly used in switching power supplies, AC rectification, bidirectional conversion circuits, and interference suppression circuits because of its large forward current, low reverse voltage, and low leakage current. Its application field and working principle are demonstrated above.
