UPS170E3/TR13

Diodes - Rectifiers - Single

The UPS170E3/TR13 is a diode rectifier designed for applications such as motor vehicle charges and inhome charging for devices such as laptops and mobile phones. It is composed of a set of rectifiers which serve to rectify power from AC to DC.

Working Principle

A rectifier works by using an alternating current (AC) through a circuit with a diode. As the AC signal from the power supply passes through the diode, it allows current to pass in one direction only—from the anode to the cathode—which causes the signal to become a DC voltage.

The UPS170E3/TR13 diode rectifier is composed of four diodes connected together in a bridge configuration. The diodes are housed inside a single package, allowing for improved heat dissipation and easier handling. Each of the four diodes are calibrated to deliver a maximum reverse voltage of 130 V.

Application Field

The UPS170E3/TR13 is used in a wide range of applications, including consumer electronics, laboratory power supplies and industrial power supplies. It is particularly effective at efficiently converting AC power to DC power with low electromagnetic interference (EMI).

In consumer electronics, the UPS170E3/TR13 is used for in-home charging for laptop computers and other portable devices. It is also used for motor vehicle charging of electric vehicles, such as hybrid cars. In the automotive industry, its robust construction makes it ideal for use in harsh climates and environments.

In the industrial sector, the UPS170E3/TR13 is used to regulate electrical output from industrial power supplies. It is particularly useful in the steel and petrochemical industries, where its high-temperature capabilities make it well-suited to the extreme conditions often encountered.

Advantages

The main advantages of the UPS170E3/TR13 diode rectifier are its ability to efficiently convert AC power to DC power, and its robust construction. Its small size, low power consumption and low voltage drop result in improved power efficiency. The diode rectifier is also highly tolerant to voltage and temperature fluctuations, making it well-suited to a wide range of industrial and automotive applications.

The UPS170E3/TR13 diode rectifier is a reliable and efficient solution for a wide range of applications, from consumer electronics to industrial power supplies. Its robust construction and compact size make it particularly suitable for use in extreme climates and conditions, such as those found in the automotive and petrochemical industries.
