RF081LAM2STR Discrete Semiconductor Products

Diodes - Rectifiers - Single

The RF081LAM2STR is a single, 3-pin, 200-V surface-mount rectifier. It is a device used to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). The rectifier can take any AC signal and convert it to a DC signal as its output. It works by forwarding the current flow in one direction, while blocking any current flow in the other direction. This type of rectifier is used in power supplies and voltage regulators.

The RF081LAM2STR has an integrated reverse voltage (VR) withstand of 200 V and a forward surge current rating of 8A. It is designed for high-temperature applications, and is RoHS-compliant. It has a low forward voltage drop and is capable of operating at temperatures up to 150 degrees Celsius.

The RF081LAM2STR has several potential applications. It can be used in electric vehicles, power supplies, motor drives, and industrial systems. It can also be used in renewable energy systems, such as solar, wind, and hydro-power installations. In addition, it can be used in lighting, radio frequency systems, and medical devices.

The RF081LAM2STR operates based on a few different principles. First, it conducts in forward and will block in reverse. The diode has an anode, gate, and reverse gate. When the anode is more positive than the cathode, the diode will conduct current and the reverse will not. Conversely, if the cathode is more positive than the anode, the reverse will conduct, but the forward will not.

Second, the RF081LAM2STR also relies on avalanche breakdown. Avalanche breakdown is a phenomenon that occurs when the voltage across a diode reaches a certain threshold. At this point, the diode will “break down” and allow current to flow in both directions. This can cause the diode to overheat, and so the RF081LAM2STR has a maximum breakdown voltage rating of 200 V to help protect against this.

Finally, the RF081LAM2STR utilizes thermally-assisted reverse recovery. This is a process by which the forward diode’s voltage is reduced so that the current flow is reversed quickly. This helps to reduce power loss and heat dissipation, allowing the device to operate more efficiently.

The RF081LAM2STR is a single, 3-pin, 200-V surface-mount rectifier. It is a simple device that is used to convert AC to DC. The rectifier has several potential applications and is designed to withstand high temperatures. It relies on forward and reverse conduction, avalanche breakdown, and reverse recovery to perform its function.
