Diodes - Rectifiers - Single

A single rectifier is an electronic component that is primarily used to allow partial or full-wave rectification of alternating current, aiming at generating direct current. In some cases, an inserted full bridge rectifier also provides high-frequency filtering for AC signals.

IRKE56/04A Rectifier

The IRKE56/04A is a single-phase, commercial rectifier composed by two silicon die, the anode and the cathode, which are connected to the metal doped curves acting as contact surfaces.

Application Field

The IRKE56/04A is commonly applied in AC-DC circuits such as high-current power adjustment, DC power supply regulators, as well as computer power supplies. It is also a popular choice for high voltage application such as fluorescent lighting, switching power supplies, and welding.

Working Principle

The IRKE56/04A includes two metal doped curves on its input side, the anode (+) and the cathode (-). When the rectifier is exposed to incoming AC power, a voltage is applied to the diodes in a repeating sequence, first to the anode and then to the cathode; the result of this oscillation is a recurrent flow of rectified DC current. Depending on the power supply design, the use of the IRKE56/04A may provide filtering capabilities to the rectified current.

Benefits

The main benefits of the IRKE56/04A are its ability to provide high-precision conversion of AC to DC, its suitable for many applications like lighting and power supplies, and its low cost and size thanks to its two semiconductor die. The IRKE56/04A can be obtained in powers up to 100 Volts DC, with current ratings from 1 Amp to 5 Amps, allowing it to replace larger power diodes.
