The root cause of rectifier diode damage

The root cause of rectifier diode damage

When using a meter to check the rectifier diode circuit, it was found that the rectifier diode was slack. At this time, we inevitably explore the reasons for the damage of the rectifier diode. Generally, there are three reasons for the damage of the rectifier diode:

1、 If the voltage is too high and exceeds the reverse breakdown voltage of the rectifier diode, it will be broken down.

2、 The current is too high, and the current passing through the rectifier diode exceeds its rated current for a long time, causing overheating and burning.

3、 Low frequency rectifier diode are used in high-frequency circuits, causing them to overheat and burn out.

If the rectifier diode is damaged, you can refer to the above reasons. Have you learned? If you want to learn more about rectifier diode, please feel free to call our company, and we will be happy to serve you.
