Pedal Power Bicycle Generator Industrial Grade 25A Peak Blocking Rectifier Diode

CONTINUOS CURRENT: 15 Amps

PEAK CURRENT: 25 Amps for up to 5 minutes (Diode will get up to 90 degrees Celsius if left at max current for extended period of time).

The blocking diode is a helpful tool for limiting the direction energy can flow through a wire to just one direction. It's especially useful when a generator is charging a battery and prevents the energy flowing backward back into the generator. It uses a semiconductor P/N junction achieve this behavior. If you want to learn about the P/N junction you can study up on quantum physics or do a search on YouTube for more information.
