SS5P10-M3/87A

The SS5P10-M3/87A is a single-phase discrete Schottky power rectifier. It is available in Volts ranging from 20 Vdc to 100 Vdc, with current ratings of 1.0 A to 10.0 A, in increments of 0.5 A steps. The SS5P10-M3/87A is designed for general-purpose, low power applications and is ideal for applications where power dissipation or space is a concern.

The SS5P10-M3/87A is a three-terminal device, in which the anode is connected to the cathode and the anode is connected to a center gate. When a positive voltage is applied to the anode, the device will conduct a current from the anode to the cathode. When no voltage is applied, the device is in a reverse-biased state and does not conduct current.

The major application for the SS5P10-M3/87A is in DC-DC conversion applications, such as power supplies, DC motors, and battery chargers. It can also be used in various AC/DC and DC/DC switching applications, such as in AC/DC inverters, solid-state relays, rectifier bridges, and power switching circuits.

The operating principle of the SS5P10-M3/87A is based on the Schottky principle, where the Schottky Barrier produces a numeric depletion layer between the N and P-type semiconductor material forming a rectifying junction. When a voltage is applied, the depletion layer will conduct current and the device will act as a diode. The reverse representational electric field defined by the dopants and the Schottky barrier potential also act to reduce the forward voltage drop, creating a more efficient rectifying junction.

The SS5P10-M3/87A can be used in a variety of applications, from low voltage DC motors to high voltage DC power supplies. It is an efficient and reliable rectifier that is available in a wide range of current and voltage ratings, making it an ideal choice for many applications.
