SS13MHRSG

Introduction

The SS13MHRSG is part of the single rectifier diode family and is used for various applications. It is suitable for high-speed and high-current applications, such as AC-DC power supplies, frequency converters, electronic rectifiers, and voltage regulators. This component is a cost-effective and reliable way to rectify current and voltage.

Structure

The physical structure of the SS13MHRSG consists of two modules with a pair of bipolar diodes structurally connected between their feed-through pins. Each module consists of two heating elements bonded and sealed onto the terminal pins providing temperature protection against over-heating. These components are then hermetically sealed in a ceramic-filled epoxy resin and encased in a stainless steel or aluminium shell. This Cascode configuration allows for better electrical performance and higher temperatures.

Function and Working Principle

The SS13MHRSG works as a two-way current rectifier and voltage regulator. It is designed to convert alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC). When the input voltage is positive, the diodes act like an open switch, allowing the current flow in only one direction and blocking it in the other direction. This is known as the “forward bias” mode and is determined by the polarity of the voltage. When the voltage is reversed, the diode takes on a “reverse bias” role, meaning the current is blocked.

The SS13MHRSG rectifies AC current and converts it into DC current. The output of the rectifier is constant and steady, allowing for a uniform current throughout the circuit. This current can then be used to power devices or machines that require direct current. In the case of frequency converters, the rectified voltage can be used to control frequency and the output of the device.

Applications

The SS13MHRSG is a popular choice for high-speed and high-current applications such as AC-DC power supplies, frequency converters, electronic rectifiers, and voltage regulators. It is also used to provide reliable and efficient current rectification in UPS systems and automotive electrical systems. The SS13MHRSG is also suitable for applications that require control of current and voltage in telecommunications, energy conversion, motors, and induction heaters, as well as in medical, robotic and industrial automation applications.

Conclusion

The SS13MHRSG allows for reliable and efficient current rectification and voltage regulation in a variety of applications. Its two-way current rectifier design is useful in AC-DC power supplies, frequency converters, electronic rectifiers and voltage regulators. Its casing is hermetically sealed, which helps to ensure high reliability and temperature protection against overheating. The SS13MHRSG is a suitable choice for applications that require high-speed and high-current performance.
