GBU15B-BP Application Field and Working Principle

Diodes - Bridge Rectifiers are widely used in electronic, engineering and automotive applications for the purpose of rectifying AC to DC. The GBU15B-BP is a bridge rectifier that is made up of electrodes and features tight tolerances, so it is more efficient and reliable than traditional bridge rectifiers.

Construction:

The GBU15B-BP is a single-phase diode bridge rectifier, sealed in a plastic package. It typically consists of four diodes that form the bridge configuration. These diodes are connected in an alternating arrangement, so as to derive two direct current outputs, one positive and one negative. A minimum height of the insulating material ensures mounting ease.

Features:

• Glass-passivated chips ensuring superior performance
• 100% rut-free resistance body
• Low forward voltage drop
• High current capability
• High surge current capability
• High tempeature soldering guaranteed
• Low leakage current
• Low Reverse Voltage

Working Principle:

The GBU15B-BP bridge rectifier works by converting the alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC). This is done by means of the four diodes and their connection pattern. When the AC voltage is applied to the rectifier, the diode that is reverse-biased will stay off, while the diode that is forward-biased will turn on. The diode that is forward-biased will allow the current to pass through and the reverse-biased diode will block the current from passing. This cyclic process repeats itself and the resultant current has the same polarity, which is the DC output. Since the four diodes are always arranged in alternating order, there will always be one diode that is reverse-biased and one diode that is forward-biased.

Applications:

The GBU15B-BP is suitable for a vast range of industrial and consumer applications, such as lighting, motorized appliances, forced-air heating, DC power supplies, linear power supplies, process control, and refrigeration.

The bridge rectifier is also used in power supply applications where a switched-mode power supply is not feasible. It can also be used in battery charging to regulate the current or voltage. The bridge rectifier is often used in power supplies that require stability and accuracy.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, GBU15B-BP bridge rectifier is a versatile, efficient and reliable device used for rectifying AC to DC. Due to its relatively small size, it can be easily mounted in restricted areas. It offers high performance and reliability for a wide range of applications, including consumer and industrial electronics.
