One of the most common parts and one of the earliest electronic devices is known to be a power diode. Its purpose is to limit the electric current’s ability to flow in one direction while obstructing ...

In the realm of modern electronics, semiconductor diodes have emerged as fundamental components with diverse applications. One of their pivotal roles lies in the fields of rectification and voltage ...

IXYS UK Westcode recently introduced the addition of three new voltage classes to its range of 83 mm die, pressure contact rectifier diodes. The rectifier diodes with voltage rating at 1.5 kV, 4.0 kV, ...

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 ...
