A superconducting diode bridge composed of four superconducting diodes efficiently converts AC to DC at cryogenic temperatures, achieving rectification efficiencies up to 42% ± 5%.

Editor's Note: Here's another take on the transformerless AC line power supply, which finds use in some well-insulated, low-power devices. Our technical reviewer pointed out that C ac should be an ...

It can give ample light even for reading purpose. Capacitor Cx along with diodes D1 through D4 forms the AC step down circuit. Cx reduces high voltage AC from mains to a low voltage AC which is ...

Bourns, Inc. announced the introduction of new high Power TVS diode models in SMD packaging for use in AC and DC power line applications. The new models feature high current bidirectional port ...

Enhanced Circuit Protection. PTVS diodes are offered in a wide voltage range with surge current ratings of 3, 6, 10 and 15 kA to deliver protection advantages compared to MOVs in typical AC and DC ...
