Two terminal axial lead suppressor and diode bridge device

摘要

An axial lead bridge rectifier includes four rectifying diode chips and a large pulse suppressor chip all disposed between the paddle sections of two coaxial leads. Two of the diodes are solder-connected in series between the two paddle sections, with their anodes solder-connected to a first cantilever conductive strip, the opposite end of which is soldered to one face of the pulse suppressor chip. The opposite face of the pulse suppressor chip is soldered connected to a second metal strip which extends in cantilever fashion from a solder connection to the cathodes of the other two diodes, which are also solder connected to the first and second paddle sections, respectively. The portion of the assembly including the paddle sections of the two axial leads and the rectifier bridge circuit and pulse suppressor thereof are encapsulated in suitable glass, plastic or ceramic material out of which the two axial leads extend.
