US5K-TP Discrete Semiconductor Products

US5K-TP Application Field & Working Principle

The US5K-TP is a single diode rectifier module, which is usually used in the form of a current pump circuit. By means of semi-conductor technology, the US5K-TP can convert AC current into direct current (DC) with low power dissipation and fast response. This product’s wide application area ranges from traditional industries such as power supplies and motor drives to modern electronic power markets such as aerospace and electronic equipment.

Working Principle

The US5K-TP single diode rectifier module is a bridge rectifier with a fast recovery rate under room temperature and low power consumption. The working principle of the module is straightforward. Connecting the input AC voltage to the diode will show a cycle of forward and reverse current or forward and reverse voltage, during which a current will be produced flowing through the diode. The diode will only pass the voltage that is forward but not pass or reverse the voltage, thus, the DC power obtained through the diode will eventually become the direct current.
