Rectifier Diode Information

Rectifier diodes are diodes that are used to convert AC signals to DC and from DC to AC. Some useful facts are:

  1. Rectifier diodes can be found in power supplies. They can also be used for circuit protection.
  2. To identify this type of diode one must read the value off the component or find the part number or the manufacturers number.
