RGP02-15EHE3/73

The purpose of the RGP02-15EHE3/73 is to convert an alternating current to a unidirectional current. It has an average current rating of 15A, a reverse voltage rating of 200V, and a forward voltage drop of 1.7V at a current of 15A. The diode has an average forward current temperature coefficient of -0.14V/°C, a junction capacitance of 150pF, and a recovery time of 600ns. Its peak surge reverse voltage is 600V and its junction temperature limit is 125°C.

The principle of a rectifier diode is that when the anode, or the positive terminal, is more positively charged than the cathode, or the negative terminal, the diode allows current to flow through it. The current then flows in one direction, which is referred to as the forward bias direction. When the reverse bias voltage increases, current will not flow through the diode until the voltage reaches a threshold level, known as the breakdown voltage. Once the reverse bias voltage reaches this level, the diode will allow current to flow in the opposite direction from the forward bias.

The RGP02-15EHE3/73 is primarily used in the fields of motor control, power supply, switch mode power supplies (SMPS), and power converters. It can be used in devices such as voltage regulators, rectifiers, and power inverters. Additionally, it can also be used in applications such as inductive loads, uninterruptible power supplies, and power supplies for computers and other electronic devices.

The RGP02-15EHE3/73 is a high performance single rectifier diode that can efficiently convert alternating current to direct current and provide protection against reverse voltages. It is designed for high temperature operation and is commonly used in applications that require a reverse voltage rating of 200V or lower. Additionally, it provides a reliable and consistent current flow for applications such as motor control and power conversion.
