SS15-TP

Diodes - Rectifiers - Single

The SS15-TP is a rectifying semiconductor device that is widely used in electronic circuit applications. The SS15-TP rectifier is a single-phase, silicon-controlled rectifier device with an improved design. It has an operating temperature range of -45 to 125 degrees Celsius, and can handle voltages up to 1000 volts and a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 1400 volts. The SS15-TP is primarily used as a power source in unidirectional circuits. It can be used to provide isolation from AC power sources, to regulate the starting or speed of AC motors, and to rectify power in LT converters. It is commonly used in electrical automobiles and industrial equipment.

Applications

The SS15-TP rectifier is one of the most oft-used electronic components for a wide range of circuit applications. The most common applications for the SS15-TP are:

• Power conversion and control systems
• Unidirectional circuit switching
• AC motor speed control
• Power source isolation
• Dead-time compensation
• LT converters
• Lubricant monitoring systems
• AC circuit synchronization systems
• Telephone and data communication systems
• AC and DC switching power supplies
• Automotive electrical systems
• Industrial power systems
• Household appliances

Working Principle

The working principle of the SS15-TP is based on the rectifier effect of a diode, which is the mechanism by which alternating current is converted into direct current. A diode, which is an electronic device that allows current to flow in one direction only, is made up of two terminals: an anode, which is the positive terminal, and a cathode, which is the negative terminal. When forward-bias voltage is applied to the anode and cathode, the diode allows current to flow in one direction only (from anode to cathode). By using a rectifier circuit made up of multiple SS15-TP diodes, current is converted from alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC).

The SS15-TP rectifier is also equipped with a gate terminal, which is used for controlling the rectifying effect of the diodes. By applying a proper gate control voltage, the rectifying effect of the diodes can be switched on or off; this is known as the re-triggerable function. This feature makes the SS15-TP particularly useful in applications such as power source isolation and AC motor speed control.

The SS15-TP rectifier is a highly reliable and versatile device that is widely used in a variety of electronic tasks. Its improved design makes it an ideal power source for unidirectional circuits, AC motor speed control, and power source isolation. With its high voltage handling capacity and re-triggerable function, the SS15-TP is a reliable, efficient, and versatile device.
