Everyone loves a full-wave bridge rectifier, but there’s no denying that they aren’t 100% efficient due to the diode voltage drop. Which isn’t to say that with some effort we cannot create an ideal ...

Taiwan Semiconductor has launched the GBU150x family of standard bridge rectifiers with higher peak reverse voltage and surge current ratings that provide increased safety margins for universal input ...

Fairchild Semiconductor MDBxS series of MicroDIP Bridge Rectifiers have one of the lowest package height, with 1A bridge rectifiers available. The MDBxS series is designed to meet the needs of space ...

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. released four new 1 A miniature glass passivated single-phase bridge rectifiers in the surface-mount MBLS package featuring a low typical height of 1.4 mm. Offering high ...

A major cause of losses in a conventional power supply using a 50/60-Hz transformer is the bridge rectifier. This article shows how to build a “greener” rectifier, substantially reducing losses by ...

In the realm of modern electronics, semiconductor diodes have emerged as fundamental components with diverse applications. One of their pivotal roles lies in the fields of rectification and voltage ...
