GBU1004-G

Diodes - Bridge Rectifiers serve a variety of applications, and their main purpose is to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). The GBU1004-G Bridge Rectifier is a fast-recovery unit and one of the most commonly used in the industry. This bridge rectifier uses advanced technology to achieve high efficiency: reducing power loss and operating temperature.

The GBU1004-G Bridge Rectifier is typically used in applications such as DC conversion, power source rectification, electronic transformers, voltage regulator circuits, battery chargers, LED lighting, switching power supplies, and voltage stabilizers. It can also be used in the fields of automobiles, communications, consumer electronics, military, and aerospace applications.

Basic working principle:

The GBU1004-G Bridge Rectifier is composed of four dual diodes arranged in a bridge structure. When an alternating current source is connected across the bridge, two of the diodes conduct while the other two are reverse-biased. At each moment of the half cycle, current first flows through one pair of diodes, providing output current. In the succeeding half cycle, the reverse-bias of the first pair is switched off, allowing them to conduct and the other pair is reverse-biased. This process continues until the entire AC cycle is completed, thus providing a DC current.

Advantages:

• High conductivity and fast recovery time.
• High Surge current capability
• Low power loss and high-temperature operation
• Full ceramic package for high-frequency performance
• Compact size and light weight

This bridge rectifier provides all the advantages associated with fast recovery diodes; its technology helps ensure high efficiency, low power loss, and temperature reliability even under extreme working conditions. Its ability to handle high surge current, reduced power loss, and improved performance is ideal for any applications involving sensitive electronics.
