CBR1-D080S

Diodes - Bridge Rectifiers are used to convert alternating current to direct current. Among the various types of bridge rectifiers, a CBR1-D080S is a silicon bridge rectifier with a maximum forward voltage drop per leg of 0.8V at 1A and a peak surge current of 40A.

Application field

The CBR1-D080S bridge rectifier is designed for many different applications. It is useful for commercial, industrial, telecommunications and automotive applications. It can be used for power supply rectification, switcher regulators and battery chargers. This bridge rectifier is an ideal choice for applications with low voltage and low current requirements.

Working Principle

The working principle of a CBR1-D080S bridge rectifier is based on diodes. A diode is a device that allows electrical current to flow in only one direction. In the CBR1-D080S, four diodes are arranged in a bridge formation to form a rectifier circuit. The alternating current is fed at the bridge terminal and the output is taken at the centre. When a positive full-wave rectified current is applied to the bridge rectifier, the four diodes conduct in an alternating manner and current flow through the circuit in the same direction, converting the alternating current to direct current.

The CBR1-D080S bridge rectifier is designed for low voltage applications. The four diodes have a low forward voltage drop, allowing for better efficiency and power savings. The maximum forward voltage drop per diode is only 0.8V at 1A. This makes the CBR1-D080S bridge rectifier ideal for applications that require low voltage and low current.

The CBR1-D080S bridge rectifier also has a high peak reverse surge current rating of 40A. This ensures that the bridge rectifier can handle large pulse currents without thermal runaway or overeating.

Conclusion

The CBR1-D080S bridge rectifier is a versatile component with multiple applications. It has a low forward voltage drop and high peak reverse surge current rating, making it ideal for low current applications. The device has many advantages including excellent efficiency and power saving, high surge current rating and low forward voltage drop.
