Re: bridge rectifier

I used Diodes in a DO-5 case.

one leg is threaded and is bolted to an aluminum plate to act as a
heatsink. The heatsink becomes part of the circuit so you need to be
careful how you connect it and that it is properly isolated.

4 diodes is the same as a full bridge rectifier so it works the same.

and like any electronic parts, the higher the power, the higher the
heat. heat sinking of a standard bridge is simple with a single heat
sink and one screw. too simple to not do it.
