Rectifiers - Single - Introducing SS8PH9HM3/86A

The SS8PH9HM3/86A is a single-phase bridge rectifier that is used in various applications, including power supplies, DC-to-DC converters, lighting, and motors. Because of this device’s features, it is particularly suitable for making high-power, low-noise AC to DC converters.

General Information

The SS8PH9HM3/86A rectifier has low forward voltage drop and high surge current capabilities for such a small device. It has a power rating of 800V and 5A, and a maximum junction temperature of 150°C. It is a completely self-contained rectifier, as it requires no additional components for installation. Additionally, it comes with a UL and cURus approved encapsulant, making it an ideal choice for inductive power converters.

Application Fields

The SS8PH9HM3/86A can be used in a variety of applications, ranging from lighting and home appliances to motor control and power supplies. It is particularly suitable for use in inductive loads, such as transformers and AC to DC power converters. Additionally, this rectifier is also suitable for audio applications, as it has low forward voltage drop and high surge current capabilities. It is also used in DC-to-DC converters, which are ideal for providing power to digital devices.

Working Principle

The SS8PH9HM3/86A rectifier works by allowing current to flow in only one direction, from the anode to the cathode. The rectifier is composed of four semiconducting components, known as diodes, connected in a bridge configuration. The diode is a “one-way valve” that allows current to flow in a single direction, as current can only move from the anode to the cathode. The SS8PH9HM3/86A will block any current that tries to flow in the reverse direction.

Whenever AC current is applied to the bridge rectifier, the diodes start to conduct, forming a half-rectified AC waveform. This type of rectifier provides a full-wave rectified output, as it utilizes the positive and negative half-cycles of the input voltage. As such, the output voltage is a pulsed DC waveform with a high frequency ripple component.

Conclusion

The SS8PH9HM3/86A is a single-phase bridge rectifier that can be used in a variety of applications, including power supplies, DC-to-DC converters, lighting, and motors. It has low forward voltage drop and high surge current capabilities, making it particularly suitable for use in inductive loads. Additionally, this rectifier will block any current that tries to flow in the reverse direction. As such, the SS8PH9HM3/86A is a reliable and efficient rectifier.
