It is also RoHS compliant and halide-free, making it a reliable and safe component in various application fields.

One of the most common application fields for the RGP30AHE3/54 diode is power conversion and regulation. Its high-current, high-frequency, and ultra-low forward voltage capabilities make it the perfect choice for applications such as AC-DC and DC-DC converters, AC adapters, inverters, DC/DC isolators, and inverters for printers, copiers, and displays. In addition, this diode’s excellent performance allows it to be used in various industrial applications, such as welding, cutting, and forming of metals, or in the generation or storage of electronic or electrical energy.

The RGP30AHE3/54 diode also finds extensive use in automotive applications. Its excellent performance, combined with its rugged design and high reverse breakdown voltage, makes it well-suited for use in electric power steering, power windows, and electric power brakes. It is also used in voltage converting and fast-charging systems for automotive parallel hybrid-electric vehicles.

The working principle of the RGP30AHE3/54 diode is based on the same principles of organic semiconductor rectification as the traditional “zener type” diode. This diode is an organic LED (OLED) that uses the applied electric field to limit and balance the current flow between two independent P-type (positive) and N-type (negative) semiconductor layers. Due to its construction, this diode can achieve extremely low forward voltage drops and fast recoveries of the reverse current leakage. This is the reason why it is so well-suited for power conversion and regulation applications.

In conclusion, the RGP30AHE3/54 diode is a single-phase, surface-mount rectifier that is extremely well-suited for multiple application fields. It has a low forward voltage of ±0.52V, a max repetitive reverse voltage of 54V, a max average forward current of 30A, and a max forward surge current of 180A. Its low forward voltage drop, fast reverse current leakage recovery, and rugged design make it the perfect choice for power conversion and regulation, industrial, and automotive applications.
