Additional Details

The 2W04 typically has a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 400V and a maximum RMS voltage of 280V. The average forward rectified current is usually around 2A. The surge current capability often reaches 50A. It comes in a standard package. It's designed for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards (PCBs). It's important to consider heat dissipation when using bridge rectifiers, especially at higher currents. A heatsink may be required in some applications to prevent overheating and ensure reliable operation. Always consult the datasheet for specific electrical characteristics and thermal considerations.
