SBR6030L

The SBR6030L is a single, silicon, epitaxial-base, planar rectifier regarded as a fast-recovery, high-current rectifier. In the semiconductor industry, it is the perfect choice for high-current, fast-switching applications that require low forward voltage drop and low leakage current.

In terms of application field, this rectifier can be widely used in different industries. Firstly, industrial applications are typical industry that requires rectifierdiodes. For example, in power supplies, clock circuits, timers and sets, etc., a rectifier diode is required to convert AC electrical signals into DC electrical signals for powering up the chips and other components. Secondly, commercial applications are another big field for this rectifier. For example, in media players, phones, laptops and other modern digital gadgets, the rectifier diode is also essential to provide steady voltage signals. Thirdly, automotive and aviation applications require rectifier diodes too. The diode should be robust enough to cope with harsh environments and sudden temperature changes, therefore stability and fast recovery time are crucial for those circumstances.

In terms of working principle, the SBR6030L rectifier follows a simple rectifier circuit. The device consists of an anode, a cathode, and an intrinsic layer between them. An alternating current, i.e. AC, passes through the rectifier via two bipolar junction transistors. The transistors act as switches, opening and closing the circuit at a constant rate or frequency, which is predetermined by the external circuit. The result of this is a progression of direct current, i.e. DC, where the peak voltage is limited to a maximum of 0.6V and the reverse output is limited to a maximum of 30A. This is due to the intrinsic layer that has a very low resistance in a forward bias but prevents electrons from travelling back through in a reverse bias. Thus the main difference between a diode and a rectifier is essentially the internal structure, where a diode has a single PN-junction while a rectifier is composed of multiple PN-junctions.

In conclusion, the SBR6030L is a ideal choice for applications that require fast recovery time and high current output. It follows a simple rectifier circuit and its application field covers a wide range, including industrial, commercial and automotive applications. Moreover, the intrinsic layer of this rectifier provides the necessary resistance to limit the forward bias voltage to maximum 0.6V and the reverse bias current to maximum 30A.
