UG3004-T

Diodes - Rectifiers - Single, UG3004-T Application Field and Working Principle

The UG3004-T diode is a diode designed primarily for AC/DC rectifier applications. It is a Schottky Barrier Rectifier (SBR) and is a single unit, which makes it highly suitable for every power supply design because of its small size. It has a maximum reverse voltage of 800 volts, peak surge current rating of 4 amperes, and a forward voltage of 2.1 volts.

Typical application field of this diode includes any type of power supply designs, DC/DC converter for laptops and notebook computers, telecom, LCD monitor and display systems, and many other applications. Furthermore, the UG3004-T diode is used for automotive secondary power designs, solar power and lighting systems, electric motors, and high-frequency switching.

Working Principle of UG3004-T Diode:

Diodes act as electronic one-way valves that allow current to flow in only one direction. A diode is able to accomplish this feat by creating a barrier (Schottky barrier) preventing electrons from travelling in the opposite direction. The UG3004-T diode utilizes a Schottky Barrier to create this barrier.

When the diode is used for AC/DC rectifier applications, the diode will allow current to flow in the forward direction, while preventing it from flowing in the reverse (opposite) direction. In addition, the UG3004-T diode is designed to produce reverse breakdown voltages up to 800 volts under certain circumstances, such as when there is a fault condition in the supply line.

Conclusion

The UG3004-T diode is a single unit rectifier designed primarily for AC/DC rectifier applications. It provides reverse breakdown volts up to 800 volts, and its small size makes it an ideal choice for power supply designs. It is used in a variety of applications, ranging from telecom, LCD monitor and display systems, to automotive secondary power designs, solar power and lighting systems, electric motors, and high-frequency switching.
