RN 2ZV1 Discrete Semiconductor Products

Diodes - Rectifiers - Single

The RN 2ZV1 is a type of single-phase bridge rectifier with a forward current of 1A. It consists of a single non-reversing bridge rectifier which is connected to an alternating current (AC) power source. It is most commonly used to convert AC power to DC power and is typically used in low power applications such as small dc motors, lighting, and signal processing. Additionally, the RN 2ZV1 can be used as a switch to control current since their properties make them ideal for switching loads on and off.

The working principle of the RN 2ZV1 is based on the diode bridge circuit, which is comprised of four diodes arranged in a bridge-like shape. The AC power is converted to DC power when it is applied to the circuit. During the positive half-cycle of the ac waveform, the current flows from the anode of the diode D1 to the anode of the diode D3. During the negative half-cycle of the ac waveform, the current flows from the anode of the diode D2 to the anode of the diode D4. This alternating flow of current produces the DC power.

The RN 2ZV1 has a forward voltage drop of 1.2V, a surge current rating of 10A and a power dissipation of up to 24W. It also offers excellent temperature stability, reverse leakage current and high efficiency. This device is designed to be used with a variety of high power applications such asSCR gate control, alarms, camera flashes, and so on.

The RN 2ZV1 is usually mounted on a PCB for direct electrical contact to the respective pins of the device. The AC terminals and the DC terminals are securely connected to the board and the external components. Properly mounted, it can handle a surge current of up to 10A and is suitable for any application where AC power is converted to DC power or a switch is used to control current. The device is UL certified and CSA approved, makingit a reliable and safe option for the applications it is used for.

In conclusion, the RN 2ZV1 is a single-phase bridge rectifier ideal for use in low power applications such as small dc motors, lighting, and signal processing. It has a forward voltage drop of 1.2V, a surge current rating of 10A and a power dissipation of up to 24W. It is usually mounted on a PCB for direct connection to the external components. Furthermore, it is UL certified and CSA approved for reliable operation.
