A-KABEL electrical components are common light-emitting devices that emit light through the recombination of electrons and holes, releasing energy. They are widely used in the lighting field. Light-emitting diodes can efficiently convert electrical energy into light energy and have extensive applications in modern society, such as in lighting, flat-panel displays, and medical devices. This electronic component first appeared in 1962, initially emitting only low-intensity red light. Later, versions emitting other monochromatic lights were developed, covering the visible spectrum, infrared, and ultraviolet ranges, with significantly increased luminous intensity. Its applications have also expanded from initial uses as indicator lights and display panels; light-emitting diodes are abbreviated as LED. They are made from compounds containing gallium, arsenic, phosphorus, nitrogen, and other elements. When electrons and holes recombine, they emit visible light, making them suitable for manufacturing light-emitting diodes. In circuits and instruments, they serve as indicator lights or form character and numeric displays. Gallium arsenide diodes emit red light, gallium phosphide diodes emit green light, silicon carbide diodes emit yellow light, and gallium nitride diodes emit blue light. Based on chemical properties, they are classified into organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) and inorganic light-emitting diodes (LED). LED was initially used for indicative lighting in instruments and meters, later expanding to traffic signals, landscape lighting, automotive lighting, and mobile phone keypads and backlights. Subsequently, new technology for micro-light-emitting diodes (micro-LED) was developed, significantly reducing the size of traditional LEDs. Arrays of independently emitting red, blue, and green micro-LEDs form display arrays for display technology applications. Micro-LEDs feature self-emissive display characteristics, offering higher efficiency, longer lifespan, and greater stability against environmental influences compared to self-emissive organic light-emitting diodes.

A-KABEL electrical component structure

The structure and materials of new high-voltage Schottky diodes differ from those of traditional Schottky diodes. Traditional Schottky diodes are formed by metal-semiconductor contact. Metals such as aluminum, gold, molybdenum, nickel, and titanium can be used, while the semiconductor is typically silicon or gallium arsenide. Since electron mobility is higher than hole mobility, N-type semiconductor material is selected as the substrate to achieve good frequency characteristics. To reduce the junction capacitance of the Schottky diode and increase the reverse breakdown voltage without causing excessive series resistance, a high-resistance N- thin layer is usually epitaxially grown on an N+ substrate. As is known, metal conductors contain a large number of conduction electrons. When metal contacts a semiconductor (with a separation distance on the order of atomic size), the Fermi level of the metal is lower than that of the semiconductor. At the energy levels corresponding to the conduction band within the metal and the semiconductor, the electron density in the metal is lower than that in the semiconductor conduction band. Therefore, upon contact, electrons diffuse from the semiconductor to the metal, causing the metal to acquire a negative charge and the semiconductor a positive charge. Since metal is an ideal conductor, the negative charge is distributed only within a surface layer of atomic thickness. For N-type semiconductors, the donor impurity atoms that lose electrons become positive ions distributed over a larger thickness. The diffusion of electrons from the semiconductor to the metal results in the formation of a space charge region, a built-in electric field, and a potential barrier, with the depletion layer located only on the N-type semiconductor side (the entire barrier region falls on the semiconductor side). The direction of the built-in electric field in the barrier region is from the N-type region toward the metal. As thermionic emission increases the built-in field, the drift current, which opposes the diffusion current, increases until dynamic equilibrium is reached, forming a contact potential barrier between the metal and the semiconductor, known as the Schottky barrier. When the external voltage is zero, the electron diffusion current equals the reverse drift current, achieving dynamic equilibrium. When forward bias is applied (positive voltage to the metal, negative voltage to the semiconductor), the built-in field is weakened, lowering the potential barrier on the semiconductor side, thus forming a forward current from the metal to the semiconductor. When reverse bias is applied, the built-in field strengthens, increasing the barrier height and resulting in a small reverse current from the semiconductor to the metal. Therefore, like SBD and PN junction diodes, it is a nonlinear device with unidirectional conductivity.

A-KABEL electrical component characteristics

(1) Linearity: Refers to the degree to which the actual relationship curve between the sensor's output and input deviates from the fitted straight line. It is defined as the ratio of the maximum deviation between the actual characteristic curve and the fitted straight line over the full scale range to the full-scale output value. (2) Sensitivity: Sensitivity is an important indicator of a sensor's static characteristics. It is defined as the ratio of the increment in output to the corresponding increment in input that causes this change. S is used to denote sensitivity. (3) Hysteresis: Hysteresis is the phenomenon where the input-output characteristic curves do not coincide when the input changes from small to large (forward stroke) and from large to small (reverse stroke). For the same magnitude of input signal, the output signals for the forward and reverse strokes are unequal; this difference is called the hysteresis error. (4) Repeatability: Repeatability refers to the degree of inconsistency in the characteristic curves obtained when the sensor's input undergoes multiple consecutive full-scale changes in the same direction. (5) Drift: Sensor drift refers to the change in the sensor's output over time while the input remains constant. There are two main causes of drift: one is the sensor's own structural parameters, and the other is the surrounding environment (such as temperature and humidity). (6) Resolution: When the sensor's input slowly increases from a non-zero value, an observable change in output occurs after exceeding a certain increment. This input increment is called the sensor's resolution, i.e., the minimum input increment. (7) Threshold: When the sensor's input slowly increases from zero, an observable change in output occurs after reaching a certain value. This input value is called the sensor's threshold voltage.

A-KABEL electrical component principle

A fuel cell is an energy conversion device that converts the chemical energy stored in fuel and oxidant directly into electrical energy at constant temperature based on electrochemical principles, specifically the working principle of a galvanic cell. Thus, the actual process is an oxidation-reduction reaction. A fuel cell mainly consists of four parts: the anode, cathode, electrolyte, and external circuit. Fuel gas and oxidant gas are introduced into the anode and cathode of the fuel cell, respectively. The fuel gas releases electrons at the anode; these electrons are conducted through the external circuit to the cathode, where they combine with the oxidant gas to form ions. Under the influence of the electric field, the ions migrate through the electrolyte to the anode, react with the fuel gas, complete the circuit, and generate current. Meanwhile, due to the electrochemical reaction itself and the internal resistance of the battery, the fuel cell also generates a certain amount of heat. Besides conducting electrons, the cathode and anode also serve as catalysts for the oxidation-reduction reaction. When the fuel is a hydrocarbon, the anode requires higher catalytic activity. The cathode and anode are typically porous structures to facilitate the intake of reactant gases and the expulsion of products. The electrolyte serves to transport ions and separate the fuel gas from the oxidant gas. To prevent short circuits within the battery caused by the mixing of the two gases, the electrolyte is typically a dense structure. The composition of a fuel cell is similar to that of a general battery. Its single cell consists of two electrodes (negative electrode, i.e., fuel electrode, and positive electrode, i.e., oxidant electrode) and an electrolyte. The difference is that the active substances in a general battery are stored inside the battery, limiting its capacity. In contrast, the positive and negative electrodes of a fuel cell do not contain active substances themselves but act merely as catalytic conversion elements. Therefore, a fuel cell is truly an energy conversion machine that transforms chemical energy into electrical energy. During operation, fuel and oxidant are supplied externally for the reaction. In principle, as long as reactants are continuously input and reaction products are continuously removed, the fuel cell can generate electricity continuously.
