Bridge Rectifier
Upgrade your electronic power designs with our comprehensive range of high-performance Single-Phase Bridge Rectifiers. Engineered for general-purpose use in industrial and consumer equipment, these rectifiers efficiently convert alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC) utilizing four internal passivated silicon junctions configured in a full bridge. Designed with durability and safety in mind, these components feature reliable, low-cost construction utilizing molded plastic techniques. The encapsulating plastic material carries the Underwriters Laboratory (UL) flammability classification 94V-0, ensuring maximum safety for your circuits. Whether you are building printed circuit boards (PCBs) or require chassis mounting, our rectifiers deliver high surge current capability, low forward voltage drop, and high-temperature soldering endurance (guaranteed up to 265°C / 10 seconds).
Key Features
- High Efficiency Conversion: Full-bridge configuration for stable and reliable AC to DC power rectification.
- Robust & Safe Construction: Molded plastic body meeting UL 94V-0 flammability standards.
- High Surge Current Capability: Built to handle high inrush currents, protecting your downstream electronics.
- Mounting Versatility: Ideal for Printed Circuit Board (PCB) mounting with built-in stand-offs on select models, or chassis mounting options.
- Thermal Endurance: Guaranteed high-temperature soldering performance for secure and lasting connections.
