Diodes - Bridge Rectifiers is a type of diode array that is used in many electronics applications. Bridge rectifiers are typically made from discrete diodes, but can also be found in a diode integrated circuit package. The purpose of a bridge rectifier is to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). Bridge rectifiers are typically used in AC to DC power supplies, switch mode power supplies, and low power battery charging circuits.

The term B6S-E3/80 is a Bridge Rectifier designation created by the Electronic Industries Association (EIA). It is a combination of the type of rectifier, the number of diodes, and their voltage ratings. In the particular case of B6S-E3/80, the rectifier is a 6-pin double-isolated bridge rectifier with diodes rated at 80V.

The Bridge Rectifier is the most basic type of rectifier circuit. It consists of four diodes connected in a closed loop, or bridge, configuration. In a single phase system, two of the diodes act as a rectifier, allowing current to flow only in one direction. The remaining two diodes act as free-wheeling or "flyback" diodes, providing for a path for current to return back to the source when the voltage source is switched off, or when the output reaches zero.

The main application of the Bridge Rectifier is in AC to DC power conversion. By connecting the diode bridge between the AC power supply and the negative terminal of the DC circuit, a unidirectional current is produced with a positive voltage offset. This allows the user to control the current and voltage level of the output by varying the size of the bridge rectifier. They are also used in power supplies to provide low voltage regulation, as well as in telephone circuitry for ring detection and echo cancellation.

The working principle of a bridge rectifier is quite simple. A bridge rectifier converts AC power from a wall outlet into DC power by rectifying it through the four diodes. When an AC voltage is applied to the diode bridge, each diode will begin to conduct current in each alternate half cycle. Due to the alternate positive and negative cycles of the AC voltage, only one diode will conduct at a time, allowing all of the current to flow in the same direction. This results in a unidirectional current with a positive voltage offset.

The B6S-E3/80 bridge rectifier has a reverse voltage rating of 80V and a forward voltage drop of 1.0V. It has an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. In addition, it has an insulation breakdown strength of 4kV and a junction to case thermal resistance of 66°C/W. The B6S-E3/80 is capable of handling up to 3 Watts of power, making it suitable for a variety of low-power applications.

The B6S-E3/80 bridge rectifier is a dependable, efficient, cost-effective, and easy to use solution for DC voltage conversion. It can be used in AC to DC power supplies, switch mode power supplies, and low-power battery charging circuits. Thanks to its low forward voltage drop and durable design, the B6S-E3/80 bridge rectifier is an ideal solution for many small power applications.
