Installation Example:
The 1N5408 is commonly used in high-voltage bridge rectifier configurations. For example, in a 120V or 220V AC to DC conversion project, four diodes can be connected in a bridge rectifier setup to provide efficient DC output. Ensure proper orientation of the diodes (anode and cathode) during installation and secure the solder joints for reliable performance. For additional safety, use heat sinks or proper airflow to manage heat dissipation in high-current circuits.
