SBL535

Diodes - Rectifiers - Single

A SBL535 is a single, fast-switching rectifier diode. It is a member of the Small Signal Series of Schottky Barrier Rectification Diodes, manufactured by Sanken Electric Co. Ltd. It is a silicon device with a metallic barrier layer of gallium arsenide or indium gallium arsenide.

The SBL535 is a low forward voltage device, suitable for use in low power and low capacitance circuits. It is specially designed for use in high temperature environments, and is capable of withstanding temperatures up to 150 degrees Celsius. It has a low thermal resistance so it can work at higher junction temperatures than other rectifier diodes.

The SBL535 is a suitable device for high voltage pulse applications, such as high voltage power supplies and motor controllers. It has a high current handling capacity and low thermal resistance, making it an ideal choice for applications where higher tolerances for thermal, mechanical and electrical performance are required. Furthermore, the device also features fast switching characteristics, making it suitable for applications where shorter switching times are desired.

The working principle of the SBL535 is a simple one. When a voltage greater than the reverse voltage rating of the diode is applied, the barrier layer within the diode breaks down and electrons are pushed into the diode\'s cathode, allowing current to flow. When the reverse voltage decreases, the electrons return back to the anode, thus cutting off the current. This process allows the diode to act as a rectifier and convert alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC).

In summary, the SBL535 is designed for use in high voltage pulse applications, and is suitable for use in low power and low capacitance circuits. It can also withstand temperatures up to 150 degrees Celsius and has fast switching characteristics, making it ideal for applications where shorter switching times are desired. Furthermore, its working principle is based on simple rectification that allows the diode to act as a rectifier and convert alternating current into direct current.
