Instructions for Use:

1. Mounting:

   • Ensure the rectifier bridge is mounted on a flat, clean surface.
   • Use appropriate mounting hardware to secure the component, ensuring it is not subjected to excessive mechanical stress.

2. Soldering:

   • Preheat the PCB to reduce thermal shock.
   • Use a soldering iron with a temperature setting between 300°C and 350°C.
   • Apply solder to the leads and PCB pads, ensuring a good connection without creating cold solder joints.
   • Allow the component to cool naturally after soldering.

3. Electrical Connections:

   • Connect the AC input to the ~ (tilde) marked pins.
   • Connect the positive output to the + (plus) marked pin.
   • Connect the negative output to the - (minus) marked pin.
   • Ensure all connections are secure and free from shorts or loose wires.

4. Thermal Management:

   • If operating at high current levels, consider using a heatsink to dissipate heat effectively.
   • Ensure adequate ventilation around the component to prevent overheating.

5. Testing:

   • Before applying power, double-check all connections for correctness and security.
   • Apply a suitable input voltage and verify the correct output voltage and current.
   • Monitor the temperature of the rectifier bridge during operation to ensure it does not exceed the maximum operating temperature.

6. Storage:

   • Store the rectifier bridge in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
   • Handle with care to avoid damage to the leads or the body of the component.
