A bridge rectifier is used to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). Bridge rectifiers are constructed from at least 4 diodes and are a major component of most basic AC/DC power supplies. This specific bridge rectifier can handle up to 3A and a peak reverse voltage of up to 700V. The rectifier measures 29.7 x 14.7 x 3.7mm overall, but only 12 x 14.7 x 3.7mm excluding the legs.

To use this part simply connect your positive DC line to the “+” , the negative / ground to the “-” , and each of the AC lines to one of the “AC” Pins.
