Diodes - Rectifiers - Single

RB058LAM100TFTR is a fast, general-purpose silicon rectifier diode, manufactured using NXP\'s advanced Zener ZXP process technology. This diode is designed to handle 100 volts direct current, and is available in DO-41 (Formed Leads) package.

Application Field

RB058LAM100TFTR diode is used in a variety of applications, including power supplies, voltage multipliers, solar power systems, automotive electronics, and industrial equipment. It is also used as a circuit protection device, providing a low-resistance path between the alternating and direct current in systems where both are present.

Working Principle

The working principle of RB058LAM100TFTR is based on the one-way electrical conduction property of a diode. When voltage is applied to the anode, electrons can travel in the opposite direction towards the cathode. However, when the reverse voltage is applied, the diode will block the flow of current. This can be used to protect against voltage spikes, reverse currents, and interference from other systems.

The diode also has a built-in Zener ZXP process technology which permits the diode to operate at higher voltages than the conventional silicon rectifier diodes. This enhances the operational reliability of the RB058LAM100TFTR diode and helps in protecting the system from voltage fluctuations and any interference from inductive loads.

Conclusion

The RB058LAM100TFTR is a fast-switching, silicon rectifier diode with a built-in Zener ZXP process technology which allows the diode to carry higher voltages in comparison to the conventional silicon rectifier diodes. It is especially useful in applications such as power supplies, voltage multipliers, solar systems, automotive electronics and industrial equipment. It is also used as a circuit protection device.
