1. What is the working principle of a single rectifier diode?
A rectifier diode conducts current when forward biased, converting the positive half wave of alternating current into direct current. When reverse biased, the diode blocks the current, thereby preventing the negative half wave from passing through and achieving rectification effect.
-
2. What is the difference between Schottky diodes and traditional silicon rectifier diodes?
Schottky diodes have a lower forward voltage drop (typically 0.2V to 0.3V) and faster switching speed, making them suitable for high-frequency applications. However, their reverse voltage is relatively low and is typically used in circuits with lower voltages.
-
3. How to determine if the rectifier diode is damaged?
Use a multimeter to measure the forward and reverse resistance of a diode. If the diode exhibits low impedance or high impedance in both directions, it may have been damaged. Under normal circumstances, there should be low impedance when conducting in the forward direction, and high impedance when conducting in the reverse direction.

4. What are the packaging types of rectifier diodes?
There are various packaging types for rectifier diodes, including axial pin packaging (such as DO-41), surface mount packaging (such as SMA, SMB), and high-power packaging (such as TO-220). When selecting, the appropriate packaging should be chosen based on the application's heat dissipation requirements and installation method.
