RB162LAM-40TR Discrete Semiconductor Products

The RB162LAM-40TR is a single rectifier diode that offers a wide range of applications and benefits.

It is commonly used as a standard rectifier diode in power supplies, lighting circuits, and other general purpose applications. This diode is composed of a single p-n junction and is designed to convert AC power into DC power. It is also used in rectification circuits and waveform conversion systems. It can also be used in frequency adjustment circuits, voltage regulator circuits, and motor controllers.

This diode is suitable for a wide range of operating conditions, including continuous and pulsed applications, up to 40A of current. It has a maximum forward voltage drop of 0.75V and a maximum surge current of 5A. It also has a peak reverse temperature coefficient of -9.6mV/K and an RMS on-state voltage of 1.4V. Its thermal resistance is rated at 0.1K/W.

The RB162LAM-40TR is designed to handle up to 1600V of reverse voltage. Its reverse recovery time is rated at 15μs, while its forward recovery time is rated at 2μs. It also has a junction temperature range of -55 to 150°C. It has an average forward current of 40A and a surge current of 5A.

The working principle of the RB162LAM-40TR is relatively simple. When an AC signal is applied to the anode and cathode of the diode, the voltage of the AC signal must exceed the forward voltage drop of the diode in order for the diode to conduct current. This forward bias enables current to flow from the anode to the cathode and the input signal is then converted from AC to DC.

When the AC signal is removed, the reverse bias of the diode no longer allows the current to flow and the diode is returned to its non-conducting state. The voltage across the diode quickly drops to 0V and the diode no longer conducts current. This is known as the reverse recovery time.

The RB162LAM-40TR is widely used in a range of applications, such as power supplies, lighting circuits, and other general purpose applications. It provides stable operation due to its low output ripple and it also features good thermal and noise-free operation. Furthermore, its reverse recovery time is relatively short, allowing for higher switching speeds.

Overall, the RB162LAM-40TR single rectifier diode offers an effective and efficient solution to a wide range of applications. With its wide range of benefits, it is a popular choice for various power supply and rectifier applications.
