STPS0530Z

Diodes - Rectifiers - Single

STPS0530Z is a single-phase, glass-passivated surface-mount rectifier, which is able to provide fairness of current distribution during surge. It is especially designed to limit the peak reverse-voltage of the high-voltage AC power supply when it is working in DC conditions. And this diode can be used in most applications where adequate current-carrying capacity, high surge capability and quick response are necessary.

Application Field

STPS0530Z can be used in high-voltage AC power supplies, including but not limited to: power inverters, power supplies, phase-control rectification, etc. It is especially suitable for high-voltage AC power supply applications which need to reduce the peak reverse-voltage of the power supply. The diode is also suitable for applications in industrial and domestic equipment such as adapters and battery chargers.

Working Principle

The STPS0530Z consists of a single junction of p-type and n-type semiconductor materials. When the negative terminal of the diode is connected to the AC power supply, the diode acts as a rectifier and allows the current to flow in one direction only, while blocking any current flow in the opposite direction. This behavior effectively reduces the peak reverse-voltage of the power supply.

The diode is able to dissipate the heat generated during operation through a glass passivation layer. This passivation layer makes the diode resistant to dust and corrosive substances, and helps to reduce the forward or reverse leakage of the semiconductors.

The STPS0530Z is also equipped with an internal plateau structure which enhances the components\' surge capability. The structure works by temporarily increasing the current-carrying capacity of the diode while it is running in surge, allowing it to provide fairness of current distribution and prevent any damage to the power source.

Conclusion

The STPS0530Z is a highly versatile single-phase surface-mount diode rectifier with a variety of useful features. It is designed to limit the peak reverse-voltage of the high-voltage AC power supply while it is running in DC conditions, while providing excellent surge capability and current-carrying capacity. The diode is highly resistant to harsh conditions due to its glass passivation layer, making it a suitable choice for applications in industrial and domestic equipment such as adapters and battery chargers.
