M2535SB1200

Diodes - Bridge Rectifiers, such as M2535SB1200, are devices that convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). A bridge rectifier is a device that uses four or more diodes arranged in a full-wave configuration that takes alternating current input, and provides rectified, direct current output.

A full-wave bridge rectifier can be made in a variety of ways; the most common case is a four diode circuit, as represented in the M2535SB1200. In this configuration, two of the diodes are connected in series, and the other two diodes are connected in series, with connections to the ends of each series joining to complete the bridge circuit. The full-wave bridge rectifier also allows for complete utilization of the input, as the two series diodes alternately conduct current.

The primary benefit of a bridge rectifier, such as M2535SB1200, is its ability to provide high quality conversion of AC power input to DC power output. This is due to its full-wave configuration and its ability to utilize the entire AC sine-wave form. Bridge rectifiers are often used in applications where a higher quality of power is required, such as in digital audio systems, power supplies, and other devices that require smooth and clean DC power.

Bridge rectifiers, such as M2535SB1200, work by exploiting the allowed directions of current flow for a diode. In a bridge rectifier, two of the diodes are connected in series, with the anode of one connected to the cathode of the other. This connection causes the current to flow only in the forward direction, when the AC voltage is greater than the diode’s forward breakover voltage. The other two diodes are connected in series, with the anode of one connected to the cathode of the other. This connection causes the current to flow only in the reverse direction, when the AC voltage is greater than the diode’s reverse breakover voltage. This arrangement ensures that the current will only flow forward, reverse, or be blocked, and this arrangement is called a full-wave bridge rectifier.

The M2535SB1200 is a full-wave bridge rectifier designed for use in applications such as DC power supplies, digital audio systems, and other devices that require high quality, isolated DC power. The device features a built-in heat sink that dissipates heat away from the diodes, and it is designed to operate with minimal external components. The device has a 50Amp continuous current rating, and it can withstand transient overloads up to 150Amp. It also features an isolation voltage of 5kV, making it suitable for use in applications where high isolation is required.

In summary, the M2535SB1200 is a full-wave bridge rectifier device used to convert AC power to DC power. It features a built-in heat sink, a 50amp continuous current rating, and a 5kV isolation voltage, making it suitable for use in a variety of applications requiring high quality, isolated DC power.
