CURA104-G Discrete Semiconductor Products

Diodes - Rectifiers - Single

The CURA104-G is a single-phase rectifier with a power rating of 104A. It is designed for light load applications, such as for voltage regulators, TVs and video players.

The CURA104-G package has four lead holes and mounting screws are used to fasten the device to the printed circuit board. The main top-side body part is black in color with a white terminal case.

The reed or solid-state switch is connected to the main body part and switches the device on or off. The terminal case is connected to the base part of the reed or solid-state switch.

The four terminals are used to connect the diode to its load. The terminals are marked "C", "B", "G" and "E". The "C" and "B" terminals are for connecting the diode to its load between these two points. The "G" terminal is connected to the ground. The "E" terminal is used to provide access to the common anode side of the diode.

The CURA104-G is a unidirectional silicon device, which means that it can carry current in only one direction (from the anode to the cathode). It is designed to work at temperatures of up to 125°C and is encapsulated in a UL rated plastic package.

The CURA104-G is a low cost and reliable device for rectifying AC power. It is used in application fields such as industrial and automotive lighting, as well as in commercial and domestic environments. Variety of voltage selection, quick action and reliability makes this device an ideal candidate for most AC power rectification jobs.

The CURA104-G is basically an enhanced version of the traditional rectifier bridge. It is made up of four sealed, protected silicon diodes. Each diode has a different voltage rating and is connected in series. The anode side of each diode is connected to the cathode side of the diode that precedes it. The rectifier bridge is designed to draw power from an AC voltage source, rectify it to DC output, and control the flow of current with precision.

The working principle of the CURA104-G is simple. When the AC voltage is applied to the terminals, the diode bridge creates an alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) conversion. When the AC voltage reaches its peak and the anode voltage surpasses the cathode voltage, the diode begins to conduct and current flows from the anode to the cathode. This flow of current is continued until the AC voltage reaches its negative peak and then decreases again.

The CURA104-G is a robust and reliable device for most AC rectification tasks. The diode bridge has the ability to withstand high temperature and pressure, and the device is able to operate for up to125°C without failing. The CURA104-G is also UL rated, thus making it a safe and reliable option for residential and commercial AC power rectification.
