Understanding Thermal Specifications of Bridge Rectifiers

Mastering thermal management of power applications is one of the highly underestimated challenges electronic designers must overcome. This application note explains the mechanisms of heat transfer in semiconductor components along with Diotec’s datasheet para- meters of 1ph and 3ph Bridge Rectifier. It further describes a way to determine whether  a bridge is suitable for a given output current and ambient respectively case temperature.
