Introduction

The RGP02-20EHE3/73 is a single-phase silicon rectifier diode produced by Panasonic, widely used for power rectification in various device applications. This diode is a two-terminal, semiconductor device constructed of a P-type and an N-type section of silicon, and is most often used for stabilization, voltage-regulation, and protection. Rectifiers are also used to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). The RGP02-20EHE3/73 is designed as a high-performing, cost-effective alternative to other products, and is owned by Panasonic, Inc.

Description

The RGP02-20EHE3/73 is an anodized aluminum-coated silicon planar type diode produced by Panasonic. This diode has a polished gold-plated finish so that it functions well in a wide range of temperature options, and it is equipped with four electrodes for good electrical contact. The RGP02-20EHE3/73 is a Schottky rectifier, meaning that it has extremely low forward voltage drops and excellent forward current characteristics, allowing for higher current and voltage ratings. The diode has a standard average forward current of 10.2A for a device with a 0.2A when bearing dual forward voltage.

Application

The RGP02-20EHE3/73 is most often used in AC-to-DC rectification circuits. It is also used in power supplies, high frequency switching applications, motor control systems, automotive applications and other applications that require a stable, low-noise, high current output. Additionally, this device is well suited for use in high frequency low voltage flyback and boost converters, as well as in automotive alternator, airbag, and starter systems.

Working Principle

The RGP02-20EHE3/73 functions by passing current in one direction through the device, while blocking current in the opposite direction. Current is conducted by the device\'s P-type section when a voltage is applied to its anode, and is blocked from flowing back into the anode by the N-type section. This current flow creates an electric field that causes holes in the P-type section to move toward the N-type section, allowing the remaining current to then flow between the two sections. This process is known as rectification, allowing for the transformation of alternating current into direct current without any additional conversion or manipulation. When a voltage is applied to the cathode side of the device, the electric field that was created by the anode shifts in the opposite direction, causing holes in the N-type section to move toward the P-type section and blocking current from flowing. This process is reversible, and it is the fundamental principle behind the operation of a diode.

Conclusion

The RGP02-20EHE3/73 is a rectifier diode produced by Panasonic that is used in AC-to-DC rectification circuits and various applications requiring a high current output. This device has a small forward voltage drop, and its four-electrode design makes it ideal for a wide range of temperature applications. Its operation is based on the principle of rectification, where a voltage applied to one side of the device creates an electric field that causes holes in the P-type section to move toward the N-type section, allowing for the transformation of alternating current into direct current. This diode is a versatile, cost-effective device that can be used for both high and low voltage applications.
