1N5918CP/TR12

Product Overview

Category

The 1N5918CP/TR12 belongs to the category of semiconductor diodes.

Use

It is commonly used as a rectifier in electronic circuits to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC).

Characteristics

• Forward Voltage: 1.0V
• Reverse Current: 10µA
• Power Dissipation: 5W
• Operating Temperature: -65°C to +175°C

Package

The 1N5918CP/TR12 is typically available in a DO-41 package.

Packaging/Quantity

It is usually packaged in reels or tubes, with quantities varying based on manufacturer specifications.

Specifications

• Maximum Average Forward Current: 3A
• Peak Forward Surge Current: 50A
• Reverse Voltage: 40V
• Forward Voltage Drop: 1.1V at 3A
• Reverse Recovery Time: 4ns

Detailed Pin Configuration

The 1N5918CP/TR12 has two pins, with the anode connected to the positive terminal and the cathode connected to the negative terminal.

Functional Features

• High reliability
• Low forward voltage drop
• Fast reverse recovery time

Advantages

• Efficient rectification of AC to DC
• Compact size
• Wide operating temperature range

Disadvantages

• Limited reverse voltage capability
• Higher forward voltage drop compared to Schottky diodes

Working Principles

When a positive voltage is applied to the anode and a negative voltage to the cathode, the diode conducts, allowing current to flow in the forward direction. In the reverse bias condition, the diode blocks the flow of current.

Detailed Application Field Plans

The 1N5918CP/TR12 is widely used in power supplies, battery chargers, and other electronic devices requiring efficient rectification of AC power to DC.
