The BLM16N10 is not a rectifier. It is actually a power MOSFET (Metal–Oxide–Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor) — specifically an N-Channel power MOSFET. MOSFETs are used for switching and amplification in power electronics, not for directly rectifying AC to DC like diodes or bridge rectifiers do. alltransistors.com
📌 Key Characteristics
-
Type: N-Channel Power MOSFET transistor
-
Voltage Rating (V<sub>DS</sub>): Typically 100 V maximum drain-to-source voltage
-
Current Capability: Up to around 60 A continuous in some versions such as BLM16N10-P
-
Low On-Resistance: Designed for efficient switching with low conduction losses
-
Package Options: Commonly in TO-220, TO-252, etc.
-
Used in: Power switching applications like DC-DC converters, motor drivers, load switches, and other power control circuits.
- A MOSFET like the BLM16N10 is a switch device. It controls current flow between drain and source depending on gate voltage, and is used in power management and switching circuits — not as a standalone AC-to-DC converter.
