Diodes - Bridge Rectifiers

The MB10STR diode bridge rectifier is one of the most widely used components in modern electronics. It is used to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). The MB10STR is a full-wave bridge rectifier composed of four diodes connected in a bridge configuration.

Application Fields

The MB10STR diode bridge rectifier is most commonly used to convert AC power to DC power. It is used in many different kinds of applications, such as power supplies, motor drives, inverters, UPS systems, and voltage regulators. It is also used in automotive electronics, such as headlight systems and windshield wiper motors.

Working Principle

The MB10STR diode bridge rectifier consists of four independent diodes connected together in a bridge configuration. All four diodes conduct during both the positive and negative cycles of the AC voltage. During the positive cycle, two of the diodes conduct, and during the negative cycle, two of the other diodes conduct. This allows the DC output to remain constant despite changes in the input AC voltage.The MB10STR is designed to rectify currents of up to 10 amps. It can also withstand peak voltages of up to 1000 volts. The MB10STR diode bridge rectifier is a cost-effective and reliable solution for converting AC to DC power.
