SS215HR5G

The SS215HR5G is a single rectifier diode which is used in a variety of applications. This diode provides a low forward voltage drop and fast switching speeds. The SS215HR5G is constructed from a stud mountable plastic package and utilizes an optimized heat-sink for thermal management. It is an epitaxy planar diode, which enables improved creepage distances for use in reinforced insulation designs.

The SS215HR5G diode has a number of properties which give it general application versatility. It is designed to withstand transient voltages up to 175V and a continuous, rectified forward current rating of 5A. The device is of the low forward voltage drop, fast-switching type, and has an average rectified forward voltage drop of approximately 0.9V. In addition, it has an average forward recovery time of 4.5ns, making it suitable for switching power supplies and other high-frequency applications.

The SS215HR5G diode works on the principle of rectification. It works as a one-way gate for current flow, allowing an electric current to pass through it in only one direction. When a voltage is applied to the diode, it becomes polarized and allows current to flow from the positive terminal to the negative terminal. The device is constructed with a metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) structure, consisting of two metal semiconductors connected by a layer of oxide. The metal semiconductor layers are positively and negatively doped.

The SS215HR5G is typically used in a wide range of applications including power supplies, power converters, rectifiers, motor controls, circuit protection, switching regulators and DC to DC converters. It is also used in battery chargers, voltage droppers, electronic ballasts, as well as in automotive, telecom and industrial applications.

The SS215HR5G diode is a reliable and economical device that offers a variety of advantages such as low forward voltage, fast switch-off, epoxy-molded package, and low thermal resistance. These features make it an ideal choice for applications that require fast switching, low forward voltage drop and good thermal performance.
