SBA120-18J

The SBA120-18J is a type of rectifier array designed specifically to reduce current surges in various types of electrical circuits. It is suitable for use in applications such as signal processing, communication systems, and electronic control circuits. The SBA120-18J is made of an insulating silicon material and includes 18 diodes arranged in a group of three by six. These diodes are connected in parallel, with each diode able to supply up to 5A at an operating temperature of 55°C.

The SBA120-18J is an ideal choice for environments where high-frequency interference may be present. That’s because it takes advantage of the current capacity of the diodes to reduce the effects of this interference. This makes it suitable for use in applications such as motor control, data processing, and power management. In addition, the SBA120-18J can also be used in automotive and industrial applications.

The working principle of the SBA120-18J is quite simple. When the current flowing in a circuit is greater than 5A, the corresponding diode engages and starts to rectify the current wave. This process reduces the voltage amplitude of the wave, resulting in a reduced current wave in the affected circuit. This rectifying action will continue until the current wave decreases below the threshold, at which point the diode will disengage and the wave will resume its original amplitude.

In applications where multiple current sources are used, such as in power management, the diodes in the SBA120-18J can be connected in series. This makes it possible for the current flow to be evenly distributed among the diodes and for the rectifying effect to remain consistent throughout the circuit. This helps to protect the underlying components from unintended current surges.

The SBA120-18J is a versatile and durable rectifier array designed to provide protection in a variety of applications. For example, it can be used in isolated systems where current limits must be strictly observed, or it can be used in motor control applications to reduce power losses due to power sags and surges. Its flexibility, combined with its low cost, makes it a popular choice for designers and engineers alike.
