Diodes, which serve as a basic semiconductor component, are widely used in a variety of electronic circuits to permit current to pass through in only one direction, making them the fundamental device for rectifying alternating current. Bridge rectifiers, which comprise four or more diodes connected in the shape of a bridge to form two truly half-cycles of an input waveform, give an output that is largely independent from the input waveform and are commonly used in a variety of electrical circuits. The KBPC1508-G bridge rectifier is an example of a simple, easy-to-use application of a bridge rectifier.

A KBPC1508-G bridge rectifier measures 18.4 x 6.2 mm and features two 0.6 lugs for fastening the device to a mounting plate. The KBPC1508-G has a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1500 V, with typical peak forward surge current of 30 A and typical forward current of 10 A. Due to its small size and high current-carrying capabilities, it is widely used in power applications such as UPS and battery chargers, where it provides a high degree of protection and durability.

The basic working principle of a bridge rectifier is the same regardless of the model. Bridge rectifiers take an AC voltage source – two positive and two negative half-cycle voltages – and create a DC voltage. In the KBPC1508-G, when an AC voltage is applied to the device, current flows from alternating half-cycles. This alternating current then flows through the diodes, which convert the current into direct current (DC). The four diodes of the KBPC1508-G do this by only allowing current to flow on one direction, very much like one-way check valves, ensuring that current is always either moving in the same direction or staying still.

This DC current is then pulled off of the bridge rectifier with two capacitors, one positive and one negative. The main use of the capacitors is to smooth the DC output of the bridge rectifier. The two capacitors act as energy storage devices and act to provide continuous energy to the output in order to reduce voltage ripple. The output of the KBPC1508-G is then a steady DC voltage, regardless of the input from the AC source.

A KBPC1508-G bridge rectifier provides a great deal of value in many applications. It is important to note that due to the wide range of input voltages, the KBPC1508-G must be used with separate power supplies to safely power the applications. This device is also quite sensitive to high temperatures, and must be operated under 40°C. Ultimately, the KBPC1508-G bridge rectifier is a small and economical solution to many power supply problems, and is frequently used in battery-charging applications.
