Suntan Bridge Rectifier & Diode: Reliable Power Conversion Components

Suntan Technology Company Limited – All Kinds of Capacitors

🎥 Watch this short video for a quick overview of common bridge rectifiers and diodes used in AC to DC conversion, circuit protection, and signal control.

Bridge Rectifiers and Diodes: Core Elements in Power Conversion Design

When converting AC to DC power in compact or high-performance circuits, selecting the right bridge rectifier or discrete diode can make the difference between a stable power supply and persistent voltage drops or overheating. Engineers face critical decisions about current rating, forward voltage, and thermal behavior when specifying these components.

Why Bridge Rectifiers Matter

Bridge rectifiers are widely used for full-wave AC to DC conversion. Compared to single diodes, they provide a more consistent output with lower ripple and greater efficiency. Applications range from power adapters and LED drivers to household appliances and industrial control systems.

  • Improved Efficiency: Compact modules with low forward voltage drop reduce power losses.
  • Thermal Stability: Housing with proper heat dissipation prevents failure under high load.
  • Surge Protection: Some modules integrate surge-handling capacity, avoiding breakdown during input fluctuation.

Common Applications

  • Wall adapters and power supplies
  • Energy meters and smart home devices
  • Battery chargers and small motor drives
  • Lighting controllers and HVAC modules

Selection Tips

When choosing a bridge rectifier or high-speed diode, keep in mind:

  • Peak reverse voltage (VRRM): should exceed the highest input peak voltage.
  • Average forward current (IF): must match or exceed the load current.
  • Package type: match layout density and heat dissipation needs (SMA, SMB, TO-220, etc.).

Diodes in Parallel or Series?

In some designs, multiple diodes are placed in parallel or series to handle higher current or voltage. This requires careful matching of characteristics to avoid imbalance. Specialized modules may integrate this safely within a single package.

Conclusion

Reliable power conversion depends on more than just the right topology. Quality components, such as bridge rectifiers with tight parameter control, help maintain efficiency, reduce heat, and increase product lifespan. Choose wisely based on application and stress conditions.

TS13C Series: High Ripple, Compact SMD Aluminum Capacitors

Suntan Technology Company Limited — All Kinds of Capacitors

When your design calls for compact size but cannot compromise on ripple endurance, the TS13C Series SMD Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors from Suntan is a powerful solution. Engineered for space-saving layouts and high ripple current stability, this series ensures performance under demanding thermal and electrical stress.

High Ripple Performance in a Miniature Footprint

The TS13C series combines low ESR characteristics with compact case sizes (starting from Φ4×5.4mm), making them ideal for:

  • DC-DC converters
  • LED driver circuits
  • Embedded system boards
  • Compact industrial modules

Selected models such as TS13CY support ripple currents up to 1190mA — without sacrificing thermal stability or ESR control.

Breakdown of Sub-Series Capabilities

Each sub-model in the TS13C series addresses specific design needs:

  • TS13C9: Ultra-low leakage current, supporting signal-sensitive circuits
  • TS13CD: High-voltage endurance up to 400VDC
  • TS13CW: 10,000 hours lifetime at 105°C
  • TS13CR & TS13CY: Enhanced ripple capacity with solvent resistance
  • TS13CJ: Tailored for LED display board performance

This modular product family allows engineers to choose precise specs for each function — reducing overdesign and improving board efficiency.

Reliable Filtering with Suntan TS09S Metallized Film Capacitor

  Suntan Technology Company Limited---- All Kinds of Capacitors

Reliable Filtering with Suntan TS09S Metallized Film Capacitor

Designed for Consistent AC Filtering

In modern AC-powered systems, clean and stable current flow is critical—not only for performance but for extending the life of connected components. The Suntan TS09S Metallized Film Capacitor is engineered to deliver dependable filtering in such environments, offering a well-balanced combination of thermal stability, low loss, and mechanical durability.

Whether in industrial automation, power modules, or home appliances, ripple suppression and consistent filtering are key. The TS09S offers capacitance options from 0.047μF to 9μF, providing flexibility for circuit designers to tune performance without compromising reliability.

Its wide voltage selection and 40/85/56 climatic category allow it to maintain consistent capacitance and filtering performance—even under prolonged temperature and humidity stress.

Construction That Ensures Reliability

The TS09S adopts a metallized film structure with a thermoset resin-filled plastic case. This design is not only flame-retardant (UL 94 V-0), but also protects the internal element from vibration, dust, and thermal shock.

In addition, the internal layout utilizes series construction to increase safety margins and prevent catastrophic failure modes often seen in lower-tier alternatives.

Why It Works for Filtering – Not Just Specification, but Real-World Performance

Unlike general-purpose film capacitors, the TS09S minimizes internal loss and maintains impedance stability across frequency shifts common in AC environments. This helps suppress EMI noise, improve waveform purity, and reduce thermal strain on adjacent components.

Designers often overlook the mechanical endurance of filtering capacitors—but in systems running continuously, especially near motors or switching devices, this matters. The TS09S addresses this with both low ESR and tight tolerances in critical parameters.

Applications

While the TS09S is often associated with power conversion, it’s equally valuable in:

  • AC filters in HVAC controllers
  • Output smoothing in UPS systems
  • Surge suppression in modular power units
  • Harmonic reduction in motor drivers

Its shape and terminal design also make it ideal for tight-layout designs or direct PCB mounting with minimal parasitic effects.

Summary

If your priority is clean AC signal filtering, long-lasting thermal stability, and a capacitor that can hold its own in real-world installations, the Suntan TS09S is a solid, quiet workhorse ready to support your system for the long haul.
