SS5P10-E3/86A

Diodes - Rectifiers - Single are a type of electronic component used for rectification. The SS5P10-E3/86A is a single Phase-Control Rectifier and is used in a variety of applications. The main purpose of a rectifying diode is to control the direction of current flow in an AC circuit, allowing the AC current to pass in only one direction while blocking the flow of current in the opposite direction. Its main features include low forward voltage drop, high reverse voltage capability, high blocking voltage and high surge-current capability.

The SS5P10-E3/86A is a fast soft-switching rectifier and is suitable for power supply applications requiring high efficiency, small size, and low cost. It is designed for AC line input use and for applications where high efficiency, low ripple, and low losses are required. Typical applications of the SS5P10-E3/86A rectifier include switch-mode power supplies, choppers, and converters.

The working principle of a rectifying diode is based around its ability to act as a one-way electric valve, conductive only during the positive half-cycle of the AC current, and non-conductive during the negative half-cycle. The electric current is able to pass only through the anode end, when the charge across it is high enough, and is not allowed to pass in the reverse direction. During the negative half-cycle, the diode is reversed biased, thus blocking the flow of current in the opposite direction.

The SS5P10-E3/86A is a fast soft-switching diode, consisting of two small pass transistors and two antiparallel rectified diodes. The rectifying diodes perform the main switching and rectifying functions, while the pass transistors reduce switching losses and enable faster switching speeds. The fast soft-switching means that the diode is able to switch at high frequencies with low switching losses and increased power efficiency. It is designed for high current and voltage applications, with a high average current and a long surge current capability.

The SS5P10-E3/86A rectifier is widely used in power supplies and AC line input applications, due to its high efficiency, low ripple, and low losses. It is suitable for applications requiring high power levels, such as electric drive systems and home appliances. It is also used in chopper applications and can be used to reduce harmonic distortion. The SS5P10-E3/86A rectifier can withstand very high voltages and is capable of providing high surge-current capability, making it suitable for applications needing high power levels.
