A diode allows current to travel in only one ... by connecting two of these devices together he’s built something of a mechanical rectifier. An electrical rectifier converts alternating current ...

By putting in four layers, instead of the three used in transistors, the Shockley Diode could do more than a transistor. For one, it acted like a rectifier, able to turn alternating current into ...

Because of this I’ve used 1N4001 diodes to make the bridge rectifier. Bridge rectifiers are also known as full-wave rectifiers because they take the alternating current and use both parts of the ...

The latest package in Vishay’s Power DFN family, the DFN33A features a compact 3.3 mm by 3.3 mm footprint and an extremely low typical height of 0.88 mm, allowing the Vishay General Semiconductor ...
