RB520CM-30T2R Discrete Semiconductor Products

A single rectifier diode is a device that allows current to flow in unidirectional direction through it. It consists of a semiconductor material having two or more layers. The layer on the anode side allows electrons to flow only in the forward direction, while the other layer on the cathode side restricts the flow of current to one direction only. The device is commonly used in many applications and is especially popular in DC-DC converters due to its great efficiency.

RB520CM-30T2R is a special type of single rectifier diode which can be used in various applications. It is a low voltage reverse blocking rectifier diode, rated at 30V. The current rating is 32A, and the reverse recovery time is less than 100ns. This diode also has an excellent low reverse leakage current, which makes it suitable for use in many applications.

Application Field:

RB520CM-30T2R is mainly used in DC-DC converters and voltage regulators. It is also suitable for high frequency switch mode power supplies, rectifier circuits and other applications where blocking of the reverse current is necessary. It is also used in high power pulse applications, for example for storage charge feeding, remote control of high-current relay, and household appliances. Furthermore, it can be used in other various applications where low reverse recovery time is required.

Working Principle:

The RB520CM-30T2R is a low voltage reverse blocking rectifier diode. It works on the principle of allowing only forward current to flow while no current flow in the reverse direction. The working principle is based on the construction of the diode which consists of two layers. The anode side has no resistance to the flow of electrons while the cathode side is always in a blocking state. This means that the diode will allow current to flow only in one direction and no current will flow in the reverse direction.

When the diode is reverse biased, the electron flow is blocked due to the junction built between the two layers. During the forward bias, the junction built between the layers allows the current to flow from anode to the cathode. Due to the low reverse recovery time, the current flow in the reverse direction is almost blocked even after the forward voltage is removed.

The RB520CM-30T2R is a low voltage reverse blocking rectifier diode with an efficient low reverse leakage current. This makes it an ideal choice for many applications. It has an excellent reverse recovery time, providing faster switching speeds, higher efficiency and better power saving performance.
