Instructions:

1. Handling and Storage:

   • Store in a dry, cool place to prevent moisture damage.
   • Handle with care to avoid mechanical stress on the leads and body.

2. Mounting:

   • Ensure proper alignment of the component during soldering.
   • Use a heat sink if necessary to manage thermal stress during soldering.
   • Soldering temperature should not exceed 260°C for more than 10 seconds.

3. Electrical Connections:

   • Connect the input terminals to the AC supply.
   • Connect the output terminals to the DC load or filter capacitor.
   • Ensure correct polarity to avoid damage.

4. Thermal Management:

   • Ensure adequate cooling if the rectifier is operating at high current levels.
   • Use a heatsink if the temperature exceeds the recommended operating range.

5. Testing:

   • Test the rectifier using a multimeter to ensure it is functioning correctly before installation.
   • Check for continuity between the appropriate terminals and ensure there is no short circuit.

6. Safety:

   • Always follow safety guidelines when working with high voltages.
   • Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling the component.

7. Disposal:

   • Dispose of the component in accordance with local environmental regulations.
