When the diode is forward biased and conducting electricity it will pass through any variations in the voltage being put into them, but when it is reverse biased and not conducting any electricity ...

A conventional low-voltage silicon diode has a forward voltage drop of about 0.7V and a relatively low maximum reverse voltage, for example with the 1N4001 rectifier it’s 50V. For the higher ...

Vishay has introduced 16 new 650 V and 1200 V SiC Schottky diodes in the industry-standard SOT-227 package. Designed to ...

Bipolar devices, such as pn diodes and bipolar junction transistors, hold promising potential in the high-power electronics industry due to their ability to withstand reverse voltage currents.

By delivering a dramatic increase in the current density of AlN Schottky barrier diodes, the team is helping these devices to ...

With features like a low forward voltage drop, minimal capacitive charge, and high-temperature operation, these diodes are ideal for power conversion in AC/DC PFC, photovoltaic systems, and more.
