Appearance And Characteristics Of Rectifier Diode

A rectifier diode is a diode that converts (rectifies) alternating current into a pulsating direct current. It operates using the unidirectional conductivity of the diode. The shell packaging of rectifier diodes often adopts three forms: metal shell packaging, plastic packaging, and glass packaging. Generally, diodes with high forward working current are packaged in metal shells, while diodes packaged in plastic and glass have low forward current
