The 1N5402-AP diode rectifier has a standard axial leaded package with two leads. The anode is connected to the positive terminal and the cathode to the negative terminal.
The 1N5402-AP diode rectifier operates on the principle of allowing current flow in one direction while blocking it in the opposite direction. When used in a circuit, it effectively converts the alternating current into direct current by only allowing the positive half cycles to pass through.
The 1N5402-AP diode rectifier finds extensive use in various electronic circuits and power supplies where conversion of AC to DC is required. It is commonly employed in power adapters, battery chargers, and DC power supplies for electronic devices.
This comprehensive range of alternative models provides options based on specific voltage and current requirements in different applications.
