Diodes - Rectifiers - Arrays: STTH1602CG-TR Application Field and Working Principle

Diodes, also known as rectifiers, are electronic components that allow electrical current to flow only in one direction, as opposed to alternately flowing in both directions. In this way, they are used to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). The type of diode that is often used to convert AC power to DC is called a Rectifier Array. It is composed of several individual diodes connected in a series, and is used to change AC to pulsing DC.

The STTH1602CG-TR is one such Rectifier Array. It is an axial-lead, non-isolated rectifier module designed for high-current applications in which it is required to keep device temperature below a certain level. The STTH1602CG-TR can support up to 900V and 16A. It has body dimensions of 28.2mm x 13.2mm x 12.7mm, and a total weight of only 3g. Its wide operating temperature range - from -40 to 125 degrees Celsius - makes it suitable for various applications.

The working principle of the STTH1602CG-TR is simple. Incoming AC current is first rectified by the six diodes it contains, turning it into pulsing DC. This DC then goes through a secondary rectifying process: the module\'s thermal process, which helps to evenly dissipate heat across the entire device. This helps to ensure that all the diodes receive equal levels of current, resulting in less power loss and better operation.

Some of the most common applications for the STTH1602CG-TR are power supplies, computer power supplies, DC-DC converters, and industrial light dimmers. Its ability to convert AC to DC efficiently makes it an ideal choice for these and many other applications. For example, it can be used to power LED lighting, automotive systems, and electric vehicles. Its high-temperature and high-current ratings make it especially suitable for applications that require high switching frequency, such as switching power supplies, appliance motor drives and lighting/LED controllers.

In conclusion, the STTH1602CG-TR is an ideal Rectifier Array for high-current applications. It offers an efficient and reliable way to convert AC to DC, with a wide operating temperature range and excellent thermal performance. As such, it is an excellent choice for any application in which high-current and high-temperature requirements must both be met.
