Power Semiconductor Standard Recovery Diode and Rectifier units usually include one or two diodes/rectifiers in different configurations. Desired features of these diodes/rectifiers can include low forward voltage, low thermal impedance, and both excellent surge and i2t* current ratings. Applications for Standard Recovery Diodes and Rectifiers include power supplies, motor control circuits, battery chargers, resistance welding circuits, or as a free-wheeling diode. Specific attributes which are important in selecting the right Standard Recovery Diode/Rectifier for your application include: Voltage Rating (V); Current Rating (A); and Package Type. We feature a wide range of package types, such as a module, a stud (both forward and reverse polarity types), and a hockey puk (also called “disc”). Richardson RFPD maintains a robust selection of Standard Recovery Diodes and Rectifiersfrom leading manufacturers. * The “I” in the “I2t” rating is the RMS value of the surge current (while by contrast, “I” is a peak value in the surge current rating). The I2t rating is useful in coordinating the right fuse to protect the diode.
