RGL34KHE3/98 Discrete Semiconductor Products

Diodes - Rectifiers - Single are electronic components that are used to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). The RGL34KHE3/98 is a single-phase bridge rectifier circuit made up of a four-terminal element that can be used for industrial, commercial and aerospace applications. The part number describes the diode part number, the type of diode (single geometrical active) and the power package.

The RGL34KHE3/98 has a range of higher voltage and current ratings up to 600 KV and 28 A peaks. It is designed for use in various power supply applications, such as bridge rectification, high voltage AC-DC conversion and direct current modulation. The maximum repetition rate is 300 kHz.

The RGL34KHE3/98 works by blocking the flow of current (holes) when the voltage exceeds the peak voltage of the diode. Then when the current reverses direction, it passes through the diode and continues to flow in the new direction. This type of diode acts very quickly when switching - allowing currents of up to 28A peak - and efficiently converts AC voltages to DC, and then outputting DC power as a result.

The RGL34KHE3/98 is a 4-terminal element, meaning that it has two anode pins and two cathode pins. The anode pins are the positive terminals and the cathode pins are the negative terminals. The anode pins connect to the source of power and the cathode pins are connected to the load. The source and load are connected by a controller to allow for accurate switching and control of the current.

In addition, the RGL34KHE3/98 has a reverse voltage protection feature that prevents damage from a sudden and significant reverse voltage surge. This feature helps to extend the lifetime of the diode and improve reliability. It also has a low reverse leakage current that helps to eliminate any unnecessary power dissipation in the system and helps to keep the device cool.

Overall, the RGL34KHE3/98 is a high-performance and high-efficiency single-phase bridge rectifier circuit that is designed for a variety of applications. It has a higher voltage and current rating than previous diodes and is able to switch current quickly and efficiently. It also has a reverse voltage protection feature and a low reverse leakage current, helping to extend its lifetime and improve its reliability.
