1. How to choose the appropriate rectifier diode?
When making a choice, the following factors need to be considered:
Current capacity: Determine the maximum current that the diode needs to handle.
Reverse voltage: Ensure that the reverse voltage of the diode can withstand the highest voltage in the circuit.
Forward voltage drop: A lower forward voltage drop can improve circuit efficiency.
Recovery time: For high-frequency applications, choose fast recovery or Schottky diodes. -
2. What is the difference between a single rectifier diode and a bridge rectifier?
A single rectifier diode can only rectify the positive half wave of AC power (half wave rectification), while a bridge rectifier composed of four diodes can rectify the positive and negative half waves of AC power (full wave rectification), with higher efficiency and smoother output.

3. What is a fast recovery diode?
Fast recovery diode is a special type of rectifier diode with a short reverse recovery time, suitable for high-frequency power supplies and switch mode power supplies (SMPS) applications, reducing switching losses.

4. How to identify the polarity of a single rectifier diode?
Rectifying diodes usually have polarity markings, with the positive (anode) of the diode being "+" and the negative (cathode) being "-". On the packaging of diodes, there is usually a circular mark on the cathode side indicating the direction of the diode.
