Space - Model HNR 002576-00-03 - Bypass diode
This state-of-the-art discrete silicon diode is designed to reliably protect individual multi-junction space grade solar cells from reverse current damage. These diodes are designed to be mounted in the cropped comers of the solar cell, but this technology can be customized for specific application needs upon request.
The AZUR SPACE diodes offer a highly reliable and well- proven protection of individual cells from negative bias in case of their possible inhomogeneous illumination in the string or damages.
There are two types of bypass diodes available. An external Si diode as well as a GaAs diode, which is monolithically integrated in the solar cell structure. As all of our space solar cells, both diode types are space- qualified and applicable for LEO, MEO and GEO missions.
