Preventing Reverse Polarity Damage with the PW4512 by Diotec

Just imagine… Hundreds of miles from the nearest city. You miswire a solar pump. A stupid accident. But the damage is done.

All the electronics are gone in an instant. Reverse polarity gives no warnings. No second chances. It just ends circuits.

That’s why we build in a quiet safeguard. A standard blocking diode.

The PW4512 is rated for 45 A, 1200 V, and up to 175 °C. It offers low forward drop and high reverse voltage.

Exactly what you need in a reverse polarity event. And especially handy at off-grid locations where nothing may go wrong.

Keeping your operations safe doesn’t have to be complex. 

Often, it’s just one of our diodes doing its job.
