SD103CW-G3-18

The SD103CW-G3-18 is a Single-phase silicon bridge rectifier designed for general purpose applications. The rectifier is suitable for use in many high current and high frequency applications, and is built using an epitaxial planar design for low forward voltage drop, temperature stability and low leakage.

Application Field

The SD103CW-G3-18 bridge rectifier is suitable for many general purpose applications, such as power supplies, telecom systems, linear and switching power supplies, and lighting systems. It also has applications in DC-DC converters and motor drives. The device can be used in applications where a high efficiency rectifier is required and can also be used in circuits requiring high surge current, such as UPS systems.

Working Principle

The single-phase silicon bridge rectifier SD103CW-G3-18 operates by passing a single-phase AC current. The current passes through four silicon diodes arranged in a bridge configuration. The diodes allow the current to flow in only one direction, creating a rectified, or "pulsed" DC current. The DC current is used to power the load connected to the device.

The device features a low forward voltage drop and temperature stability, resulting in low power losses. The low on-state voltage ensures efficient rectification and eliminates the need for a center-tap transformer. The bridge rectifier also provides an effective surge current capability, which provides protection to the power supply and load.

Conclusion

The SD103CW-G3-18 single-phase silicon bridge rectifier is suitable for many general purpose applications. Its low forward voltage drop and temperature stability provide low power losses, while its high surge current capability provides protection to the power supply and load. Its epitaxial planar design ensures that the rectifier is reliable and efficient.
