SS15LHMTG

Diodes - Rectifiers - Single

A diode is a two-terminal electronic device typically made from a material such as silicon and capable of passing current in only one direction. The SS15LHMTG is an example of a single-phase rectifier bridge, which is an arrangement of four diodes configured to provide current to a load that can only accept one-directional current, such as a motor, based on alternating current (AC) input. A rectifier bridge, as its name implies, also has a rectifying effect, which is the ability to change AC current to DC current.

The SS15LHMTG has a maximum reverse voltage of 600V and a forward current of 2A. Its maximum forward voltage drop is 1.2V at a forward current of 2A, 30°C ambient. It has a capacitance of 47pF in the reverse direction, and an average on-state resistance (RMS) of 0.21Ω. This diode can be used in a variety of applications, including motor control and power conversion, power supplies, and bridge rectification.

When current passes through the bridge rectifier, the current is converted from AC to DC. This is accomplished by the formation of a wave, which is created when the positive and negative terminals switch between the two directions. Because this wave takes time to form, a Capacitor is used in order to smoothen the wave output, resulting in a more stable DC current.

In addition to DC current conversion, the bridge rectifier can also provide voltage regulation. This is because the bridge rectifier rectifies the wave to block voltage surges, thus stabilizing the DC output voltage. This can be extremely useful in applications that require stable voltage output.

The SS15LHMTG bridge rectifier is a single phase rectifier and is used in applications where AC current must be changed to DC current. It has the capability to provide voltage regulation due to its wave rectification, and can also be used in motor control and power conversion, power supplies, and bridge rectification applications.
