SS2P6HE3/85A

Diodes - Rectifiers - Single

The SS2P6HE3/85A is a single rectifier diode which is widely used in a variety of applications. It can be used in power supplies, current steering and junction rectification. This diode is a very efficient piece of electronic equipment and it has a maximum current ratings of 85 amp and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1400V.

Application Field

The SS2P6HE3/85A can be used for a variety of applications, such as for power rectification, rectified DC power, power supplies, and fast acting rectification in high frequency applications. When used in these applications it is generally used for two main functions: unregulated power supply, and voltage regulation.

• Unregulated Power Supply: When used in this type of application, it will provide direct current voltage that can be used in systems that don\'t require any regulation or protection of their own.
• Voltage Regulation: It can be used to regulate the voltage within the system and provide protection against over-voltage conditions.

Working Principle

The SS2P6HE3/85A works on a principle known as PN junction rectification. In simple terms, when the diode is reversed biased, it is considered to be an open circuit and no current flow will occur; while when it is forward biased, it is considered to be a closed circuit and current will flow with a certain amount of voltage drop. The diode is also able to have a high level of reliability as it is able to maintain a consistent performance even in high temperature or high-voltage conditions.

In most applications, the SS2P6HE3/85A would be placed in series with a load, or between the power source and load. The current flow would be directed by the diode, and the voltage regulation would be performed by the diode. The diode will provide protection against over-voltage conditions and will prevent current from flowing back into the power supply. It is a very versatile piece of electronic equipment and can be used for a variety of tasks.
