Working Principle

RS2KAHR3G diodes are rectifiers i.e. they allow current to pass in only one direction, and prevent current from flowing in the opposite direction. It consists of an anode and a cathode, so that the device can be connected to the respective electrical points for rectification. It also contains a ceramic capacitor, which works as a voltage regulator.

The RS2KAHR3G diode works in a similar way as a Zener diode, however it requires less power to operate. It uses the capacitive nature of its ceramic capacitor to discharge the existing energy and prevent it from going the wrong way. This capacitance will provide the necessary resistance to the current going through the device.

The RS2KAHR3G diode will also help to limit the reverse leakage current, which will allow the device to work even under overloaded conditions. This is beneficial in applications where surge protection is necessary.

In conclusion, the RS2KAHR3G diode is a reliable and low power diode that is suitable for a wide range of applications, from general purpose rectification to surge current protection. It can be used in both low power and high power switching circuits, and even in capacitor charging/discharging circuitry.
