The difference between a bridge stack and a rectifier bridge

The difference between a bridge stack and a rectifier bridge

bridge  stack is an electronic component, which refers to a rectifier device assembled by rectifier elements according to the bridge connection method. Of course, bridge stacks are not all the same, a bridge stack consisting of two rectifier diodes is called a half-bridge, and a bridge stack consisting of four rectifier diodes is called a full bridge. So, is the bridge pile a rectifier bridge, and what is the difference between a bridge  stack and a rectifier bridge? Let's take a look together!

First, is the bridge  pile a rectifier bridge

A bridge  stack is basically no different from a rectifier bridge.

bridge  stack: Internally consists of multiple diodes. The main function is rectification and adjustment of the current direction. It is better to use the bridge stack rectification, first of all, it is very convenient, and its internal four tubes are generally selected and matched, so its performance is closer, and when the high-power rectification, the bridge stack can be installed with heat dissipation blocks, so that the performance is more stable during work, of course, different occasions should also choose different bridge stacks, can not only look at whether the withstand voltage is enough, such as high-frequency characteristics.

Rectifier bridge : The rectifier tube is sealed in a shell, divided into full bridge and half bridge. A full bridge is the sealing of four diodes of a connected bridge rectifier circuit. The half-bridge is to seal the half of the two diode bridge rectifiers together, with two half-bridges can form a bridge rectifier circuit, a half-bridge can also form a transformer with a center tap of the full-wave rectifier circuit, the selection of the rectifier bridge to consider the rectifier circuit and working voltage.

Second, the difference between bridge pile and rectifier bridge

The rectifier bridge  refers more to the circuit built by the diode, and the bridge stack is to integrate the four diodes together and use it directly as the rectifier bridge. The full name of the rectifier bridge and the bridge  pile is the rectifier bridge stack, and some people call the rectifier bridge or bridge pile the same.
