Diodes - Rectifiers - Single

The UF4001-M3/73 is a single silicon junction rectifier specifically designed for semiconductor applications. This rectifier has a 3-pin configuration where one pin is dedicated for the anode, one for the cathode and the single control pin is used for reverse bias protection. It\'s capable of handling large amounts of electrical current up to 1A.

A single junction rectifier is a device that allows current to flow in only one direction. It has two p-n junctions connected in series, a positive and a negative. When the anode is at a higher level than the cathode, current is allowed to flow through the diode. However, if the cathode is at a higher potential than the anode, no current is allowed to pass through the device. This type of rectifier is commonly used in power supplies, switching regulators, audio amplifiers and other devices.

The UF4001-M3/73 is specially designed for automotive applications that require high reliability and temperature stability over a wide range of environmental conditions. The device is built using a single-chip design which increases its thermal and power efficiency. It has a low forward voltage drop of 0.90V and it offers excellent stability characteristics. The maximum repetitive reverse voltage of this diode is 400V with a low reverse leakage current of 100uA at temperatures up to 125°C.

In addition to its low forward voltage drop and high reverse voltage, the UF4001-M3/73 also offers a fast response time of 10ns at a temperature between -50°C and 150°C. The device also features a high insulation resistance of 5x10^7Ω which offers excellent protection against spikes and static electricity. This helps to maximize the protection of your electronic devices.

The UF4001-M3/73 is specifically designed for use in automotive electronics, power supplies and other semiconductor applications. It features a low forward voltage drop and a high reverse voltage rating, allowing it to supply large amounts of power to connected devices. The fast response time makes it suitable for high-frequency applications. The high insulation resistance and thermal stability also makes it a reliable choice for long-term use.
