6A10 6A 1000V Silicon Rectifier Diode

Description

• Voltage Rating: The 6A10 is rated for a maximum reverse voltage of 1000 volts (1kV). This means it can handle voltages up to 1000V in the reverse direction without breaking down.
• Current Rating: It has a maximum current rating of 6 amperes (6A). This is the maximum continuous current that the diode can handle without exceeding its specifications.
• Diode Type: It is a silicon rectifier diode, which is a semiconductor device used for rectifying AC voltage to produce a DC voltage. Silicon rectifier diodes are widely used due to their reliability and efficiency.
• Package: The diode is typically available in a DO-201AD or similar axial-lead package. This package has two leads for through-hole mounting on a PCB (Printed Circuit Board).
• Forward Voltage Drop: The forward voltage drop across the diode when it is conducting is typically around 1.1 volts. This is the voltage that is dropped across the diode when current flows through it in the forward direction.
• Applications: The 6A10 silicon rectifier diode is commonly used in power supplies, rectification circuits, voltage regulators, battery chargers, and other applications where AC-to-DC conversion is required.
• Reverse Recovery Time: The reverse recovery time of this diode is typically in the microsecond range.
• Operating Temperature Range: The diode can typically operate within a temperature range of -65°C to +175°C, although specific datasheets should be consulted for precise operating limits.
