The RGP02-20EHE3/53 is a single rectification diode, capable of handling a maximum working voltage of 200V and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 400V, while also offering a continuous forward current carrying capacity of 2A. The device is a perfect fit for applications where high power rectification and voltage switching is required, while its miniature package provides design flexibility and lowered mounted costs.
Application Field
The RGP02-20EHE3/53 is a highly versatile single rectification diode and can be used in a variety of applications such as switch mode power supplies, pulse power devices, automotive ignition systems, industrial motor-control circuits, and more.
The RGP02-20EHE3/53 is also suitable for applications that require a low forward voltage drop, low reverse leakage current, and a low capacitance between the diode terminal and the chassis. It is capable of withstanding increased temperatures and humidity, making it a reliable choice for any mobile or automotive application.
Working Principle
At the heart of the RGP02-20EHE3/53 is a semiconductor junction, which is created when two different materials are placed together and holes and electrons are combined. This junction allows current to flow in one direction, but not in the opposite direction. The current flows from the anode to the cathode, hence why it is called rectification.
The RGP02-20EHE3/53 is able to withstand up to 400V of reverse voltage, and the device is equipped with a power loss protective feature that prevents it from being damaged when the reverse voltage is too large. The device is also designed with minimal capacitance between the diode and the chassis, ensuring that higher switching frequency can be obtained with better immunity to interference.
In addition, the diode is designed with a low reverse current leakage, allowing it to withstand higher voltages but not draw too much current when the polarity is reversed. This makes the RGP02-20EHE3/53 an ideal choice for applications that require higher voltage protection as well as greater power safety.
Conclusion
The RGP02-20EHE3/53 is a single rectification diode that can be used for a wide range of applications due to its ability to handle a maximum working voltage of 200V, a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 400V, and a continuous forward current carrying capacity of 2A. Its miniature package design and low capacitance between the diode terminal and the chassis make this device ideal for any application that requires higher voltage protection and safety.
