Principles for selecting bridge rectifier diodes

Principles for selecting bridge rectifier diodes

There are certain principles and constraints in the selection of rectifier diodes. What are the specific ones? The selection of rectifier diodes generally follows the following principles

When the conduction voltage is low, select a germanium diode;

When the conduction voltage is required to be high, select a silicon diode;

Require selecting silicon diodes when reverse current is low;

When the reverse breakdown voltage is high, select a silicon diode;

Silicon diodes are required to be selected for high temperature resistance;

When the conduction current is high, select a surface contact diode;

When the operating frequency is high, select a point contact diode.

The above are common requirements for rectifier diodes, and the selection mainly depends on the parameters required by the circuit and the properties of the rectifier diode. If you want to learn more about rectifier diodes, please feel free to call our company, and we will be happy to serve you.
