The BR62 is a device known as a bridge rectifier, a four-terminal device used in the rectification of alternating current (AC). A bridge rectifier circuit consists of four diodes arranged as a bridge. The diode bridge acts as a full wave rectifier because with alternating current, the diodes can be arranged to allow the current to flow in only one direction, allowing the resulting rectified current to be direct current (DC).

A bridge rectifier must have a minimum of four diodes, otherwise the circuit will not be able to cover a full half cycle of AC input. The arrangement of the four diodes causes the AC current to be converted to pulsating DC current; the bridge rectifier is able to take an AC current of any voltage level and convert it to DC at the desired voltage level. The usage of bridge rectifiers is widespread, particularly in power supplies, including those found in computers, televisions, and more.

The BR62 is a full wave rectifier that operates on 50 or 60 hertz AC input. The device\'s maximum repetitive peak forward voltage is 400 volts. The device\'s maximum forward current rating is 2.0 amperes, and its maximum peak reverse voltage is 600 volts. The BR62 is a surface-mountable package, meaning it is capable of being attached to a printed circuit board in a very small form factor.

The fundamental operation of the BR62 is known as rectification. Rectification involves the conversion of an AC voltage to a DC voltage. The bridge rectifier is designed to use the positive and negative halves of the AC waveform, meaning that both the positive and negative voltage peaks of the incoming AC waveform are passed through the rectifier. This results in the DC output being of much higher voltage than the AC input would otherwise provide.

When in operation, four diodes transfer the AC voltage. The diodes are typically arranged in a square configuration, known as a \'physical bridge.\' When the AC voltage applied to the circuit is positive, the first and fourth diodes both become forward-biased, meaning current flows through them. The second and third diodes are reverse-biased, and no current flows through them. This causes the current, in the form of a positive DC voltage, to pass through the bridge and into the circuit, powering it.

When the applied AC voltage reaches a negative peak, the second and third diodes become forward-biased, allowing current to pass through them. The first and fourth diodes are reverse-biased, and so no current passes through them. This allows the negative DC voltage to pass through the bridge, also powering the circuit.

In addition to being robust and efficient, the BR62 is also resistant to electrical noise. Therefore, it is an ideal choice for applications where electrical noise is a concern. The BR62\'s noise-resistance is due to the fact that it has a low thermal coefficient, meaning that changes in temperature occur very slowly.

The BR62 is a popular choice for use in AC-to-DC conversion applications. It is a cost-effective and efficient device for converting alternating current to direct current, and is widely used for applications where there may be electrical noise, such as in medical equipment. The BR62 is also used in power supplies, particularly those found in computers, televisions, and other electronic devices.
