2W08G Discrete Semiconductor Products

A bridge rectifier is a component of a circuit used to rectify alternating current (AC) - that is, to create direct current (DC) from an AC voltage source. Generally, a bridge rectifier will contain four diodes arranged in a bridge formation; when AC current is applied to the bridge input terminals, the current is split into two halves and each half is routed through a diode, finally being combined in the bridge output terminals. The rectification process occurs in such a way that current always passes through the bridge in the same direction; that is, the same direction of current occurs at the output terminals regardless of the instantaneous polarity of the alternating current input.

Bridge rectifiers are a common component found in a variety of electrical devices and appliances such as television sets, computers and power supplies. The 2W08G bridge rectifier is a popular choice in sheet metal and surface-mount technology (SMT) applications. The 2W08G bridge rectifier is designed to offer a low profile, fast heat dissipation and excellent reliability.

Working Principle of 2W08G Bridge Rectifier

The 2W08G bridge rectifier is a four-diode bridge package with two input terminals and two output terminals. It works on the principle of connecting two opposite diodes in parallel across a load in order to produce a full-wave rectified output. The output is connected between the two input terminals and two diodes are connected in series from the output to each of the input terminals.

Under normal circumstances, the AC input voltage is much greater than the forward voltage drop of the diode. When this is the case, the voltage across the load is the same as the AC voltage, and the output current will flow as long as the switch is closed. When the AC input voltage is close to or below the forward voltage drop of the diodes, the voltage across the load is the sum of the two forward voltage drops, which is typically far less than the AC voltage.

The 2W08G offers superior heat dissipation due to its advanced heat sink design. The heat sink can dissipate large amounts of heat and help to keep the junction temperature low. The construction also helps to reduce EMI. Additionally, the 2W08G has optimized power handling capabilities and is highly reliable.
