It can be used to regulate current, protect circuits from spikes, and increase working effectiveness. Additionally, its low resistance and high reliability make it an ideal choice for providing short-circuit protection.

Working Principle

The VS-1N1190A rectifier diode works on the principle of the diode equation to convert AC power into DC power. The diode equation states that the current is proportional to the applied voltage. In the VS-1N1190A, the device acts as a pair of two diodes connected in parallel and operates in a manner which allows a current to flow only one way. The forward voltage of the diode is the voltage required to turn the diode on and allow the current to flow. The diode operates in a way where current is only able to travel in the forward direction, that the voltage must be greater than the forward voltage in order for the current to begin to flow. This is how the VS-1N1190A acts as a rectifier and converts AC power into DC power.

The VS-1N1190A is also designed to tolerate up to 1 A of reverse current before reaching a breakdown voltage. This is to prevent excess current from damaging the circuit. Furthermore, the VS-1N1190A also has a low capacitance, meaning that it can release charged energy quickly, therefore avoiding dangerous and costly breakdowns.

Conclusion

The VS-1N1190A is a single rectifier diode that has many applications in a variety of industries and applications. It works on the principle of the diode equation to convert AC power into DC power, and also has numerous additional characteristics, such as protection against spikes, high reliability, low capacitance, and 1 A of reverse current tolerance before breakdown. As a result, the VS-1N1190A is a reliable, effective and cost-effective choice for any DC power device.
