Diodes - Rectifiers - Single

A S20460 rectifier single is a device composed of an array of diodes. It is designed to convert alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC). It is used in a wide range of applications, from electronic circuits to large medical imaging systems.

Overview

Rectification is the process of converting AC power into DC power. It requires the use of rectifier components that selectively conduct or block the flow of electrons depending on the polarity of the input voltage. The S20460 is a single diode rectifier with an anode-to-cathode voltage drop of 0.7V. It is able to block off-state current flow up to 2A. The device is comprised of two active area elements made of silicon.

Application

The S20460 can be used in a range of applications. It is often used in power supplies and DC-DC converters to perform the voltage rectification process. It is also used in automotive electronics, industrial servo systems, and medical imaging equipment. Due to its low voltage drop and high current blocking capability, it is suitable for applications that require low ripple and high accuracy.

Working Principle

The S20460 single is a two-pin device with one anode and one cathode. When an AC voltage is present, it passes through the rectifier and the diodes only allow electrical current to flow in one direction. This process is called “rectification”. On the anode side, the diode blocks the signal until the anode reach 0.7V above the cathode. Then, current flows from the anode to cathode and the device acts as a current path. On the other side, the cathode pulls current from the anode until the anode reaches 0.7V below the cathode, and then the diode blocks the signal. This cycle of alternating current is the basis of rectification.

Conclusion

The S20460 is a single diode rectifier, designed to convert AC power into DC power. It is suitable for applications such as power supplies, DC-DC converters and medical imaging equipment as it has a low voltage drop and a high current blocking capability. Its operation principle is based on the alternating on and off flow of electricity between the anode and cathode, which blocks and allows current depending on the polarity of the input voltage.
