Diodes are ubiquitous electronic components which can be found in almost any electronic system. They are used to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) or to make sure that current passes in one direction. Bridge rectifiers are a type of diode which are widely used in applications of AC to DC conversion. One such bridge rectifier is the MB2505W-BP. This article will discuss the application fields and working principle of this device.

The MB2505W-BP from Mitsubishi is a shunt type, bidirectional bridge rectifier specifically designed for high surge and low leakage current applications. It is a single package solution featuring five series-connected diodes with a common anode and common cathode. This bridge rectifier offers significant advantages in terms of space, cost, and performance when compared to other similar components. It is suitable for applications such as DC-DC converters, power supplies, wave power rectifiers, and polarity protection circuits.

The main application of the MB2505W-BP is in converting alternating current to direct current. This is achieved by the series connection of five diodes, arranged in a bridge formation, which form a conducting path for current to flow in only one direction. When an alternating current is introduced to the bridge, only half-cycles of the wave will conduct, as the diodes will be reverse biased during the opposite half cycle. This results in only one direction of current flow, allowing the MB2505W-BP to be used as an effective rectifier. The device also features shunt capability, which enables the device to protect against polarity reversal, as the current will be shunted to ground if it attempts to flow in the wrong direction.

When the MB2505W-BP is in operation, three distinct stages can be distinguished: conduction, recovery, and blocking. During conduction (or "on") state, the voltage drop across the series-connected diodes is minimal and the current will flow freely through them. When the external ac voltage reverses, the diodes will enter the blocking (or "off") state, and no current will flow, as the applied voltage reverse biases the diodes. During recovery state, the voltage drop across the diodes will temporarily increase due to the diode storing energy as it transitions between "on" and "off" states. Finally, the diodes will enter the blocking state, blocking any current flow.

The MB2505W-BP is a robust, versatile, and cost-effective solution for AC to DC conversion and polarity reversal protection. It is ideal for applications in DC-DC converters, power supplies, wave power rectifiers, and other circuits requiring high ripple current and surge capability. Due to its unique design, it also offers space and cost savings when compared to similar components.
