CD2320-B11000 is a component used in many electronic projects which falls into the category of diodes, more specifically bridge rectifiers. These devices are useful in any circuit whereby AC current needs to be converted into a DC current. AC current is doomed to go in both directions, whereas DC current is predicted in one single direction. This property helps any electronic component in its functionality.

The CD2320-B11000 is a 3A bridge rectifier with tough glass passivated junction. It takes in AC voltage and provides a DC voltage. The working principle is the same for any bridge rectifier, however, the CD2320-B11000 is specially designed for increased durability and better safety. It can work with a wide range of AC voltages, from 16V AC up to 200V AC.

The applications may vary, however, this bridge rectifier is suitable for any electronic circuit that requires a reliable and consistent DC current. It can be used to build constant power supplies, rectify current from mains voltage and it can also be used in nickel–cadmium or lead–acid battery charging.

The structural design of the CD2320-B11000 comprises four diodes connected in a bridge formation. As an example for the working principle, when AC voltage is applied to the terminals A and D, current might start flowing from A to D. However, this current is blocked by the diodes and flows from terminal B to C instead. This is because bridge rectifiers are composed of diodes, which by nature allow current to pass in one direction. Thus, while some of the current starts to flow from A to D as previously mentioned, most of it will be diverted to B to C, due to the diode setup of the bridge rectifier.

When the bridge rectifier is used, the diodes should be arranged in a carefully tuned configuration, so the current is directed properly. The most widely known and used arrangement is the so called “full-wave bridge”, which makes use of two diode bridges, connected together in series. As for the CD2320-B11000, it is specially designed to be used without additional resistors and capacitors.

In conclusion, the CD2320-B11000 is a 3A bridge rectifier with tough glass passivated junction. It is designed for converting AC voltage to DC voltage with one-directional current. It can withstand a wide range of AC voltages, from 16V AC up to 200V AC and can be used in any circuit needing reliable and consistent DC current. It can be used to build constant power supplies and rectify current from mains voltage, but also for nickel–cadmium or lead–acid battery charging.
