Diodes - Bridge Rectifiers

A bridge rectifier is an electronic circuit that consists of four diodes and has the capability to convert an alternating current (AC) into a direct current (DC). This type of rectifier is especially helpful in applications, like telecommunications and power electronics, where a direct current must be generated from an alternating current or from a high-voltage power source. The GBJ2002TB bridge rectifier is one such example, designed to quickly and efficiently convert up to 200 volts AC input into comparable DC output.

Application Field

Bridge rectifiers are becoming an increasingly popular solution for applications that traditionally require more substantial and expensive equipment. The GBJ2002TB bridge rectifier is especially suitable for applications like industrial control systems, power conversion, and power supplies, where it can be used for efficient and accurate voltage conversion.

For example, the GBJ2002TB bridger rectifier can be used in motors to drive high-torque applications. It can also be used to regulate the amount of power being supplied to digital displays, preventing power surges and providing consistent output. This can be applied to displays like data plotting, digital images, and even medical device displays that need precise voltage control in order to perform effectively and reliably.

Working Principle

The basic principle behind a bridge rectifier is to provide a complete circuit. This is done through the combination of four diodes that allow the current to flow in one direction only.

The GBJ2002TB rectifier contains two anode and two cathode diodes connected in “bridge” formation. This type of connection separates the incoming AC voltage and provides two distinct half-waves. These half-waves are then recombined to create a DC output.

This type of rectifier also has a voltage-multiplying effect. This is because the potential difference between any two points can be tripled with an arrangement of two capacitors and two diodes. This can then be multiplied if multiple components are added.

The GBJ2002TB bridge rectifier also has a few features that make it particularly useful for specific applications. Its low internal resistance minimizes power losses, and its high surge capacity helps protect the device from damage due to voltage fluctuations.

The GBJ2002TB is a reliable and efficient bridge rectifier, designed to quickly and effectively convert AC to DC. Its application fields and working principle demonstrate why it is such a valuable tool in various industrial and power control systems.
