Category: General

₦500.00

The Bridge Rectifier is an essential electronic component used to convert alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC). It is widely used in power supplies, chargers, and electronic devices that require stable DC voltage.

Key Features

Converts AC to DC efficiently

Full-wave rectification for smoother output

High current-handling capability

Compact and durable package

Low forward voltage drop

Reliable and long-lasting performance

Easy to integrate into power circuits

Detailed Description

A Bridge Rectifier consists of four diodes arranged in a bridge configuration, allowing both halves of an AC waveform to be converted into DC. This full-wave rectification results in higher efficiency and a smoother DC output compared to half-wave rectifiers.

Bridge rectifiers are commonly used in SMPS, linear power supplies, battery chargers, inverters, and motor control circuits. They are suitable for both educational projects and industrial-grade applications, making them a core component in electronics design.
