Diodes

Bridge rectifiers convert alternating current input into direct current output when the diodes are arranged in a bridge configuration. They are ideal for use with high-voltage applications and can be of two basic types– single phase bridge rectifiers and three-phase bridge rectifiers based on the number of diodes in the circuit configuration. Future Electronics holds a collection of through-hole and surface mount bridge rectifiers for every need. Select the ideal one for your project using our search filters.

A current limiting diode (CLD) also known as current regular diode, is used to limit current over a wide voltage range. It helps keeping the current constant when the voltage changes.
