SK58L-TP Datasheet/PDFThe SK58L-TP is a single, ultra-high-temperature rectifier with a maximum operating temperature of +200°C. It is suitable for use in applications requiring high thermal performance, such as LED lighting and high-temperature automotive control systems.
Typical applications for the SK58L-TP include power converters, adjustable power supplies, automotive reverse-battery protection, high-speed switching circuits, and other applications where high temperature operation is a must. The device’s wide operating temperature range makes it desirable in areas where temperature cycling or high ambient temperatures are common.
The SK58L-TP features low power dissipation, fast switching speeds, and low leakage current, making it an ideal choice for power supply applications and various other high-temperature applications. The device is available as a single-phase or full-wave soft-recovery rectifier in surface-mount packages. It is also available in axial and through-hole configurations.
The working principle of the SK58L-TP is based on the flow of electrons. Electrons flow through the device by entering the anode at the negative side and leaving at the positive side, before being recombined with the electrons at the positive side. While electrons flow through the device, a voltage is formed and this voltage is used to generate current.
The SK58L-TP also features a high temperature-resistant plastic surface mount package, with a heat-sink tab designed to reduce the increase in junction temperature during high-temperature operation. The device is operated at a DC blocking voltage, while the reverse blocking voltage is limited to the PIV specified in the data sheet.
In summary, the SK58L-TP is a single, ultra-high-temperature rectifier that is suitable for use in LED lighting and high-temperature automotive control systems. It features low power dissipation, fast switching speeds, and low leakage current, making it an ideal choice for power supply applications and various other high-temperature applications. The device is operated at a DC blocking voltage, while the reverse blocking voltage is limited to the PIV specified in the data sheet.
