Application Field

Due to its compact size and light weight, S2M-E3/52T mainly used in various SMD power applications such as TVs, PCs, vehicles and mobile devices. S2M-E3/52T can be used for lighting, output rectification, switching, inverting, voltage regulation and motor driving. Besides, it is ideal for use as a rectifier in high-frequency power supplies and inverters, as well as for DC-DC converters and energizing applications.

Working Principle

S2M-E3/52T works on the principle of the PN-junction. The device utilizes a metal and silicon dioxide or SiO₂ layer as a semiconductor. The metal provides the electrical contact while the SiO₂ controls the electrical properties. The device will allow the current to flow on one direction due to the presence of two junction barriers; it also provides high-speed switching and an isolation voltage.

When the electrical current enters the anode side, it will pass through the junction barriers and is transferred to the cathode side. The electrical properties of the SiO₂ will ensure that the current will not flow on the opposite direction. The electrical contact on both ends provides excellent low impedance and allows the current to flow without any hindrance. This also ensures that the device can withstand sudden surges and transients.

Conclusion

The S2M-E3/52T is an ideal device for use in applications requiring up to 3.2A forward current and a reverse voltage of up to 52V. Its robust construction, high-speed switching capabilities and protection from short-circuit or overload make the device perfect for a wide range of applications. This device is fully compliant with the RoHS and IEC standards of environmental protection and safety.
