SSL32 M6G Datasheet/PDFSSL32 M6G is a rectifier diode that is used in high current and high pulsing applications. It has a small package size and is capable of handling high temperatures. Its thermally isolated tab allows it to be mounted easily and provide a low thermal resistance for heat dissipation. It is also RoHS compliant.
Application Field
The SSL32 M6G rectifier diode is designed to be highly reliable and has low forward drop. This makes it ideal for applications that require high current and frequent pulsing, such as automobiles and industrial motors. It is suitable for applications with high frequency and high temperature, such as inverters and converters. It is also suitable for applications such as soft starters, UPS systems, and chargers.
Working Principle
The SSL32 M6G rectifier diode is a semiconductor device that consists of two contacts, an anode and a cathode. It works on a major principle of electrochemistry that is known as the PN junction diode. In this diode, majority charge carriers flow through a junction between two layers of the material. In the SSL32 M6G diode, the junction is between two highly-doped sections within the same layer of semiconductor material. The majority current carriers on both sides of the junction are holes on one side and electrons on the other side.
The PN junction has a depletion region as well, which acts as an insulating layer between the two sides and it has an electric field across it. When a forward bias voltage is applied, the electric field helps the majority current carriers in crossing the junction and thus a current can flow through it. However, if the reverse bias voltage is applied, then the electric field become so strong that it becomes impossible for the minority charge carriers to cross the junction and no current can flow through it.
The SSL32 M6G rectifier diode has an additional feature known as Super Barrier Schottky barrier. This helps in improving its ability to carry high current and prevents voltage attack. It also provides superior thermal performance that allows for improved diode cooling and prevents thermal runaway.
Conclusion
The SSL32 M6G rectifier diode is designed for high current, high pulsing requirements. Its small package size, high temperature operation, and superior thermal performance make it a good choice for applications such as automotive motors, inverters, converters, UPS systems and chargers. Its Super Barrier Schottky barrier helps to improve its current carrying capability, voltage attack, and thermal performance.
