bridge rectifier - A circuit using four diodes to provide full wave rectification. Converts an AC voltage to a pulsating DC voltage.
center tapped rectifier - Circuit that make use of a center tapped transformer and two diodes to provide full wave rectification.
full wave rectifier - Rectifier that makes use of the full AC wave in both the positive and negative half cycles.
half wave rectifier - A diode rectifier that converts AC to pulsating DC by eliminating either the negative or the positive alternation of each input AC cycle.
rectifier - Diode circuit that converts alternating current into pulsating direct current.

Types
Types of Diodes Small Signal Diode - Low voltage/current diodes. Power Rectifier - High voltage/current diode. Bridge rectifiers are are four diodes pre-installed into one component, useful for


Thyristor
Thyristors Thyristors have a similar function to Unijunctions they act as switches. Thyrstors use current flow as a switch. There are two types of thyristors. Silicon-Controlled Rectifi
