BR1004-G Discrete Semiconductor Products

Bridge Rectifiers, first invented in the 1920s, are devices used to convert AC power to DC power. The BR1004-G is a four-terminal, full-wave rectifier with a variety of applications. It’s capable of both low-current and higher-current, because of its use of four terminals.

The BR1004-G is mainly used for power supply systems, power rectification, motor speeds control and circuit protection in switching power supplies, laser power supplies, communications equipment, lighting, computers, converters, household appliances and automotive electronics.

The BR1004-G is made of two silicon diodes, which are semiconductor devices to allow current to flow in only one direction and are the most popular rectifying parts used in Bridge Rectifiers. It has 4 terminals, for both input and output, making it a full-wave rectifier.

The BR1004-G works by allowing current to flow in a single direction, while blocking current from going the opposite way. This is a great way to convert AC current, which alternates between two directions, to DC current, which flows only in one direction. The four terminals of the BR1004-G allow for more current to go through at once, which makes it useful for higher current applications.

The BR1004-G works by connecting two diodes between AC voltage inputs. This forms a bridge rectifier circuit, which is the basis of the BR1004-G. As the alternating voltage is switched on, the two diodes placed in parallel rectify the current and allow it to pass through. When the current passes, it is effectively changed to direct current, and exits the rectifier circuit through the output terminals. This is how the BR1004-G is used to take AC power and convert it to DC power.

Because the BR1004-G is a full-wave rectifier, it is able to output both high-current and low-current. This is useful in applications where high-current is needed to provide power, but low-current is needed for control and measurement purposes. This makes it a versatile device for many different applications.

The BR1004-G is also capable of providing voltage protection, which is useful for switching power supplies, laser power supplies, and other devices that require a reliable power source. This is achieved by connecting a voltage regulator to the bridge rectifier circuit and using it to keep the output voltage in a regulated range. This ensures that the output voltage does not exceed a certain level, which helps to keep the device safe and functioning properly.

The BR1004-G has many different applications and is a great way to convert AC power to DC power. It’s capable of both low and high-currents, making it a versatile device. It also offers voltage protection, making it a great choice for power supplies and other devices that require a reliable source of power.
