UFR8520

Diodes - Rectifiers - Single

A UFR8520 single rectifier diode is a semiconductor device that affects the flow of electrons in a single direction, allowing current to flow in one direction but not in the other. This makes it perfect for applications like converting alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC).

The UFR8520 is an ultrafast rectifier diode with an extremely high level of efficiency, thanks to its low capacitance and low reverse leakage current. It has a maximum operating temperature of 175°C, a recovery time of 10 ns, an average rectified forward current of 40 - 50A, a reverse voltage of 100V, and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 175V.

The diode can be used in applications such as AC-DC power supplies, DC-DC converters, and motor controllers. One of the main benefits of this device is its high thermal coefficient of on-resistance, which helps to stabilize the device\'s performance in high temperature environments. Additionally, its high frequency switching capabilities make it ideal for use in photovoltaic applications.

Aside from its robust features, the UFR8520 is also relatively easy to install. Its structure is similar to other rectangular-shaped diodes, and has two terminals called an anode and a cathode. The electrical connections of the anode and cathode should be soldered directly to the printed circuit board, making the process of assembly much simpler.

The UF8520 single rectifier diode provides very effective current blocking and energy management when used in medium frequency AC/DC power converter designs. Its fast switching speed and low on-state resistance also makes it ideal for AC-DC and DC-DC converter designs. As a result, the UF8520 diode can be used in a variety of different applications, from telecom and industrial power supplies to automotive applications.
