High-current rectifier featuring sophisticated heat distribution

The European distributor ECOMAL is now offering the new Shindengen US-KB family of products, which sets new standards in rated and peak current performance. 10, 15 and 30 amp versions have been added to the familiar range of 4, 6 and 8 amp versions. Due to low AC line impedance, rectifiers which are connected to the AC input often have to be protected against excessive inrush current which flows when large are uncharged. An external protective resistor is connected in series with the rectifier, and the maximum current rating is an important criterion for bridge rectifiers.
