BR34 Bridge Rectifier Single-phase 400V 3A
The BR34 is a reliable, high-performance single-phase silicon bridge rectifier designed for efficient AC-to-DC power conversion. Packaged in a compact BR-3 molded plastic case, it features a hole designed for a #6 screw to ensure secure and straightforward mounting in any position. Engineered specifically for printed circuit board (PCB) integration, the BR34 balances a low forward voltage drop with low leakage current to optimize power efficiency in your circuits.
