Typically, a power supply is comprised of a power transformer, which is then followed by a conventional bridge rectifier. The bridge rectifier is constructed using four diodes that are interconnected ...

Westcode Semiconductors Limited (An IXYS company) announced their highest power rectifier diode to date. The diode has a maximum voltage rating of 5.6kV and a RMS current rating of nearly 10,000A.

Although they are usually limited to only two leads, rectifiers and diodes play an important role in power electronic systems. In 2011, many types of rectifier/diodes were introduced, from bridge ...
