UGB8DTHE3/81

The UGB8DTHE3/81 is a type of diodes or rectifiers belonging to the single category. Their application field and working principle will be discussed in the following paragraphs.

Application Field

The UGB8DTHE3/81 is mostly used as a protection diodes in a wide range of AC and DC applications, for example: Inverters, AC and DC welders, motor controllers, solar power systems, electronic circuits and electrical safety systems. Additionally, it can also be used in other applications, such as energy saving and low power consumption lighting applications, AC power control and automotive electronics.

Working Principle

The UGB8DTHE3/81 is a circuit component that controls the flow of current in the circuit components. It can be used to pass electric current in one direction, allowing electric charges to flow through it. As electric current passes through the diode, it generates a potential difference across its two electrodes (anode and cathode). It allows electric current to pass in one direction while blocking or filtering out current in the opposite direction.

The UGB8DTHE3/81 diode has two distinct functions, rectification and protection. In rectification mode, the diode is open and electric current can flow through it in only one direction. In protection mode, the diode is closed and no electric current can pass through it. In either case, the diode protects the circuit from excessive voltage, excess current, and/or power surges.

Due to its fast switching action, the UGB8DTHE3/81 is also well-suited for applications in which the protection time is extremely short. It is also suitable for use in applications that require high temperature operating conditions, as it is capable of withstanding temperatures of up to 150°C.

Conclusion

The UGB8DTHE3/81 is a type of diodes or rectifiers belonging to the single category. mostly used as a protection diodes in a wide range of AC and DC applications. It allows electric current to pass in one direction while blocking or filtering out current in the opposite direction. It also offers protection against excessive voltage, excess current, and/or power surges, and are ideal for applications in which the protection time is extremely short and applications that require high temperature operating conditions.
