R9G01018XX Application Field and Working Principle

R9G01018XX rectifier is classified under the diodes category, specifically single rectifiers. As the name implies, single rectifiers consist of a single diode within the component, hence the moniker “single”. Different rectifier types such as double, triple, full and bridge rectifiers, also hold true to their respective naming conventions. However, this article solely focuses on single rectifiers, particularly the R9G01018XX component.

Rectifier Field and Usage

The R9G01018XX rectifier system is used for various low wattage applications such as joining two phases of alternating current, polarizing the output power, shunt regulation, noise suppression, creating a half bridge and steering motor motion. This component is used to switch alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) as well.

The component works in low power applications, as previously mentioned, due to its low wattage rating of 16 watts. It also features a high surge current tolerance of 8A. The maximum rectified current in terms of continuous load is 2A, making it an ideal choice for rectifying AC electricity for low wattage applications.

Component Features and Working Principle

The component encapsulates single diode which has the name R9G01018XX. This single diode is the working force of the component itself. Single diode rectifiers are commonly used because they are relatively inexpensive and perform a satisfactory job dealing with AC current. These diodes come in various voltages and wattage levels, meaning they are capable of working with different current and voltage levels.

The main purpose of the R9G01018XX component is to convert AC electricity into DC electricity. The single diode within the component acts as a one-way “valve” for electricity. As the current (power) enters the component, the diode acts as a filter and only allows the current to flow within one direction. By filtering the current, the component is able to provide a steady DC output.

It is important to note that not all single diode rectifiers are created equal. While single diode rectifiers as a whole will always perform the same job, the characteristics of each rectifier greatly vary. This is why different wattage and voltage levels are available in the market.

Variations of the R9G01018XX Component

The R9G01018XX rectifier with its 16 watt rating is available in three different variations: the R9G0101810, the R9G0101812 and the R9G0101815. The number following “XX” represents the maximum surge current tolerance of the component. In other words, the higher the number, the higher the surge current tolerance.

For example, the R9G0101810 can be used with AC current applications that have a maximum surge current rating of one ampere. Similarly, the R9G0101815 can be used with AC current applications that have a maximum surge current rating of fifteen amperes.

It should be noted that even though the component can handle a certain amount of surge current, its continuous load current is always limited to two amperes. This means that the maximum continuous load that the R9G01018XX can handle is two amperes.

Conclusion

To summarise, the R9G01018XX rectifier is a single diode rectifier used in low wattage applications such as joining two phases of alternating current, polarizing the output power, shunt regulation, noise suppression, creating a half bridge and steering motor motion. This component converts AC electricity into DC electricity by acting as a one-way “valve” for electricity.

The R9G01018XX rectifier system is available in three different variations, each with a different surge current rating. The maximum continuous load current is however always limited to two amperes.
