CDBA360-G

Diodes - Rectifiers - Single

A diode, also known as a rectifier diode, is a semiconductor device that is used to rectify alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). The rectification process enables the conversion of AC power to DC power, which is required to power most electronic devices. The CDBA360-G is a single diode rectifying bridge that is designed to handle high DC voltage rectification applications.

Application Field

CDBA360-G is ideal for a variety of applications such as automotive, power supplies and LED lighting. Its main benefit is its ability to handle a high rectification of DC voltages, up to 360V DC. It is also widely used in power conversion applications such as inverter circuits, high-speed motor drives and power switches in car engines.

Working Principle

The CDBA360-G rectifying bridge uses four diodes arranged in a bridge configuration to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). The four diodes are connected in series across two points, so that the two points always maintain the same voltage level. The two points also form two separate branches, the anode branch, and the cathode branch. The alternating current flows through the anode branch and the cathode branch in a repeating pattern.

The diode rectifying bridge allows current to only flow in one direction, which means that one side of the bridge will always have current flowing in one direction, while the other side will always have current flowing in the opposite direction. This process is known as full-wave rectification and is used to convert AC to DC. The CDBA360-G bridge can handle high DC voltage rectification applications.

Conclusion

The CDBA360-G is a single diode rectifier bridge that is designed to handle high DC voltage rectification applications. It is ideal for a variety of applications such as automotive, power supplies and LED lighting. Its main benefit is its ability to handle a high rectification of DC voltages, up to 360V DC. The rectifying bridge works by allowing alternating current to flow through the two branches of the bridge, the anode branch, and the cathode branch. The bridge only allows current to flow in one direction, allowing for the conversion of AC power to DC power.
