High performance bridge rectifier for diode-rectified alternating current generator
by qiaorui on Mar 15, 2011
The present invention generally relates to bridge rectifiers for rectifying the current output of an alternating current generator. More specifically, the present invention relates to a high performance bridge rectifier which utilizes an improved first heat sink, an improved carrier plate second heat sink, an improved connection cover of the rectifier, improved first polarity and second polarity diodes, improved diode layout over the first and the second heat sinks, improved diode contact with the electrical contacts of the rectifier, and said rectifier is especially characterized by an improved B stud that more efficiently dissipates heat to properly cool the rectifier while providing current to various electrical loads such as, for example, a motor.

Bridge rectifier for diode-rectified alternating current generator
by qiaorui
Bridge rectifier is used to rectify current output from alternative current sources, such as an alternating current generator. Bridge rectifiers for motor vehicle alternators are well known in the art and generally include two metal parts used as heat sinks that are electrically insulated from each other. As a result of the current which is transmitted therethrough, the bridge rectifier becomes heated due to the internal power loss on each individual diode. Thus, the bridge rectifier must be properly cooled in order to handle the maximum required current while still being tolerant to...
