Diodes are key components within the electronics industry, and form central elements of various specialized applications. UGF18ACT-E3/45 rectifiers are high-power diodes capable of providing high current at a low voltage. As a member of the UGF18ACT-E3/45 family of diodes, these components are often used in an array to form a bridge rectifier.

Applications
UGF18ACT-E3/45 rectifiers are ideally suited for applications that require a high current at a low voltage. Identified by their TO-247 package, UGF18ACT-E3/45 components are most commonly used in power supply designs surrounding the heavy processing of data. This includes elements found in medical imaging and scanning equipment, servers, and switching power supplies. Diodes from this family are also used in low current draw applications, such as consumer devices, where the low wattage capability is paramount.

The UGF18ACT-E3/45 rectifier is preferred for applications in harsher electronic environments. With a highest operating temperature of 150 degrees Celsius and a cool-down period of up to 25 seconds, these diodes are resilient enough to withstand extreme heat. This makes them well suited for closed system applications, such as LED lighting and motor controls, where the lack of air flow increases their operating temperature. Furthermore, this type of rectifier is manufactured to be both highly efficient – meaning they consume a low amount of energy compared to their wattage – and provide ample protection from short-circuit and reverse-manner current damage.

Working Principle
The UGF18ACT-E3/45 rectifier utilizes the well-known principle of using a p-n junction for electricity control. The junction block consists of the anode and cathode components which allow for the electrical current to flow in one unidirectional direction. The anode and cathode pillars act as diodes, meaning that the current can only flow in a forward-biased direction from the anode to the cathode. The forward-biased allows for the current to move through the diode and provide the optimal current at a low voltage.

When the UGF18ACT-E3/45 rectifier is included in a linear-rectifier network, the current is supplied with two alternating pulses. The electric current flows through the anode to the cathode during the positive pulse and reverses to the cathode to the anode during the negative pulse. In the linear-rectifier network, two diodes act as two opposite halves of a bridge rectifier, allowing a much stronger current to flow.

UGF18ACT-E3/45 rectifiers also contain an additional ‘formulated bar’ element on the anode terminal to provide additional protection against short circuit damages and over current scenarios. This element limits the amount of current is allowed to flow through the rectifier, meaning over current conditions can quickly be identified and the rectifier can be disabled in the event of a critical failure.

The UGF18ACT-E3/45 array is an excellent choice for applications requiring a low voltage with minimal power consumption. With its high efficiency, optimal power output, and resilient design, it is an ideal choice for a range of electronic systems, from medical imaging to consumer device applications.
