The BAS45A Rectifier Diode is a general-purpose silicon diode commonly used as a blocking diode or as a rectifier in power supplies converting AC power to DC power. The BAS45A has a continuous blocking voltage of 125V and can carry up to 0.25A of current. The forward voltage of the diode drop is 1.0V.
Features of BAS45A
- High Reliability
- Good power handling capability
- Low forward voltage
- High forward surge capability
- Low leakage current
