KBJ1010G-BP

Diodes are an integral part of many electrical and electronic circuits. A diode is a semiconductor device that has two terminals and has two distinct electrical characteristics: a negative resistance region and a positive resistance region. Bridge rectifiers help convert AC inputs to DC outputs and form an important part of many power conversion circuits. KBJ1010G-BP is a bridge rectifier with a package size of 10mmx4mm and is rated for a maximum reverse voltage of 400V.

Working Principle

A bridge rectifier consists of four diodes connected in a bridge formation. Its main function is to convert AC power to DC power. AC power input is applied to the two terminals of the bridge rectifier which form the bridge circuit. When alternating current is applied, the diodes D1, D2 and D3, D4 conduct in sequence for positive and negative half cycles of the incoming AC power. Thus the output voltage forms a pulsating DC voltage.

The KBJ1010G-BP bridge rectifier has a maximum reverse voltage of 400V making it suitable for a wide range of applications. It also features fast reverse recovery time, low forward voltage drop and excellent noise suppression capabilities. It has a surge overload capability of up to 400V/µs and a typical junction capacitance of 300pF. The bridge rectifier also features a non-isolated package with thermo-resistant glass passivated junctions which make it suitable for high temperatures.
