UH10FT-E3/4W Application Field and Working Principle

UH10FT-E3/4W is a single rectifier diode that is used in many applications. It is a general-purpose, single-phase, and low-power rectifier diode that features desirable features for many electronic applications.

The diode has a maximum reverse-recovery time of 60 ns. The package size of the diode is 5 mm, and the discretes that make up the diode are capable of handling up to 1.5 A. As with any diode, the UH10FT-E3/4W can convert alternating current to direct current. It also provides overcurrent protection and voltage protection for the device.

Due to its features, the UH10FT-E3/4W is commonly used in power supplies, automotive circuits, solar panels, LED lighting, and other applications. For instance, the diode can be used to prevent the back flow of current from a device to another device. It can also be used in universal AC-DC power supplies as an impedance-compensated rectifier and current-sensing diode.

The working principle of the UH10FT-E3/4W is quite simple. When the diode is in forward bias, it allows electric current to flow, while in reverse-bias mode, it blocks electric current. This means that when a voltage is applied to the anode, current flows freely through the diode and the load. Conversely, when the voltage is applied to the cathode, the current flow is blocked. The device is able to determine the direction of current flow, and if it is higher than the stated limit, the diode prevents the device from being damaged.

In addition, the UH10FT-E3/4W also offers short-circuit protection by cutting off the current flow in case of an overcurrent situation. This helps to prevent damage to the device and the system in general.

To sum up, the UH10FT-E3/4W is a single rectifier diode that is used in many applications. It features low reverse-recovery time and is capable of handling up to 1.5 A. It can be used as an impedance-compensated rectifier and current-sensing diode. It also provides protection from overcurrent and overvoltage. The principle on which it operates is simple and effective.
