What Is a Bridge Rectifier?
The bridge rectifier is made of four rectifier silicon chips for bridge connection and is packaged with external insulation materials. The high-power bridge rectifier is encapsulated with a zinc metal shell outside the insulation layer to enhance heat dissipation.

- The bridge rectifier is made of four rectifier silicon chips for bridge connection and is packaged with external insulation materials. The high-power bridge rectifier is encapsulated with a zinc metal shell outside the insulation layer to enhance heat dissipation.
- There are many types of bridge rectifiers: flat, round, square, bench-shaped (divided into the straight and patch), etc., there are GPP and O / J structure.
- Generally, there are 3 numbers in the name of the bridge rectifier (rectifier bridge). The first number represents the rated current, A; the last two numbers represent the rated voltage (number * 100), V.
- For example: KBL407 is 4A, 700V.
- KBPC5010 is 50A, 1000V (1234567, 005, 01, 02, 04, 06, 08, 10 respectively represent 50V, 100V, 200V, 400V, 600V, 800V, 1000V of the voltage file).
- It is generally drawn as follows on the circuit diagram:
- It needs to be pointed out that the diode as a rectifier element should be selected according to different rectification methods and load sizes. If you choose it incorrectly, you may not be able to work safely or even burn the tube; or you may overuse the material and cause waste.
