SE10PJHM3/85A

Diodes - Rectifiers - Single

The SE10PJHM3/85A is a single-phase, half-wave rectifier produced by the Taiwanese semiconductor company Novatek. It is designed for use in DC power supplies and motor control applications. This device is designed to efficiently convert AC power to a DC voltage, while minimizing losses and providing long-term stability and reliability.

Device Overview

The SE10PJHM3/85A is a silicon rectifier diode module, with a maximum forward current rating of 8A and a maximum reverse voltage rating of 120V. The device is housed in a J-lead package, making it easy to mount in most designs. The package size is 4.10 x 5.38 x 1.17 mm, with mounting holes for secure installation in an application.

Application Field and Working Principle

The SE10PJHM3/85A is designed to be used in DC power supplies, motor control systems, and other applications where efficient rectification of AC power is needed. The device works by allowing current to flow in one direction and blocking or “rectifying” current flow in the opposite direction. This rectification process effectively converts AC power to a DC voltage suitable for use in numerous applications.

When an AC voltage is applied to the device, the anode side will forward bias, allowing current to flow to the cathode side. When the voltage is reversed, the cathode side will forward bias and block current from flowing to the anode side. This rectification process is repeated for each cycle of the AC voltage, allowing for efficient conversion of AC power to a DC voltage.

Pros and Cons

The SE10PJHM3/85A offers several advantages over other rectifiers, including its small size and high current carrying capability. The device also has a low forward voltage drop, allowing for efficient conversion of AC power to DC. Additionally, the device is well-suited for use in harsh environments, such as outdoor motor control applications.

However, the SE10PJHM3/85A has a few drawbacks. The device has a low reverse voltage rating, limiting its use in applications that require high voltage rectification. Additionally, due to the device’s small size and low surge capability, it may not be suitable for heavy duty applications.

Conclusion

The SE10PJHM3/85A is a small, efficient rectifier diode module, designed for use in DC power supplies and motor control applications. The device has a low forward voltage drop, making it well-suited for efficient conversion of AC power. However, the device has a low reverse voltage rating and limited surge capability, limiting its use in certain applications.
