The MB10 bridge rectifier is an electronic component mainly used for converting alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC).
It has the following characteristics:
Basic Parameters:
- Maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM): Usually 1000 volts. This means that the maximum reverse voltage the rectifier can withstand is 1000 volts. Exceeding this voltage may cause damage to the rectifier.
- Maximum average forward rectified output current (IF): Generally between 0.5 amps and 1.0 amps. This is the maximum continuous forward current that the rectifier can pass under normal working conditions. For example, if the current in the circuit exceeds this value, the rectifier may overheat or even burn out.
- Peak forward surge current (IFSM): Relatively high, commonly around 35 amps. This indicates the maximum current that the rectifier can withstand under instantaneous large current surges. This parameter is very important for dealing with surge currents in circuits.
- Maximum DC reverse current (IR): Usually very small, generally in the microampere range, such as 5 microamps.
