A major cause of losses in a conventional power supply using a 50/60-Hz transformer is the bridge rectifier. This article shows how to build a “greener” rectifier, substantially reducing losses by ...

Fairchild Semiconductor MDBxS series of MicroDIP Bridge Rectifiers have one of the lowest package height, with 1A bridge rectifiers available. The MDBxS series is designed to meet the needs of space ...

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 ...
