Diodes - Rectifiers - Arrays

SET100312 is a diodes multi-way rectifier array and this rectifier array consists of two three-terminal, isolated semiconductor devices, which can be used as high temperature rectifiers in various on-shore/off-shore applications. The SET100312 is designed to be very robust and can survive in any environment, from extreme cold to extreme heat. It is also designed so that it can withstand high power losses, and prolonged stress, due to its multiple, independent, diode construction.

The SET100312 is primarily used for DC/DC applications, such as rectifying line-level AC signals to DC voltages, where its ruggedness, high peak current capabilities and low reverse leakage current are advantageous. This device can also be used in telecom systems, in which its low forward voltage drop and high temperature stability make it a preferred choice. Additionally, this device also serves as an alternative to other rectifier diodes, allowing increased efficiency and lower reverse recovery time.

The SET100312 features different working principles depending on the individual device. The basic function of the rectifier array is to convert AC power signals into DC power. However, the specific working principle can vary, due to the types of diode used in the rectifier array. One of the most common applications for this device is for full-wave rectification, wherein two adjacent diodes are connected in series and one parallel, so that when AC is applied the diodes switch and rectify the signal accordingly.

Another common application of the SET100312 is as a synchronous rectifier, where the application of AC causes the reverse-biased terminals to conduct current flow. This method can be used to produce extremely high efficiencies in motor drives and power supplies, enabling higher power output than can be obtained using single diode rectification. The SET100312 also features a dynamic series dedicated diode array which can be used to reduce harmonic distortion in AC applications that require extremely pure power, such as wind turbine generators.

Apart from its uses in power conversion applications, the SET100312 can also be used for protection against inrush current when an AC signal is connected to a DC circuit. The device can be used as a transient suppressor when excessive current is encountered, such as a short circuit. The SET100312 also features switching capability, meaning that the device can act as a switch, controlling the connection of the AC circuit to the DC circuit. This can be especially useful in the panel-mounting of the SET100312, providing both cost effective and space saving solutions.

The SET100312 is a versatile and reliable rectifier array, offering great performance for many on-shore/off-shore applications. Its rugged construction, high peak current capabilities and low forward voltage drop make it an ideal choice for DC/DC applications, while its dynamic series dedicated diode array allows it to be used in pure AC applications. Additionally, the device also offers protection against inrush current, and provides switching capabilities, ensuring that it is suitable for a wide range of applications.
