Diodes and Rectifiers are essential semiconductor devices used to control the flow of current in electronic circuits. Diodes allow current to flow in one direction only, making them crucial for signal rectification, voltage regulation, and protection circuits. Rectifiers, a type of diode, are commonly used to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) in power supplies. Diodes and rectifiers are key components in power conversion, signal demodulation, and surge protection.

With their ability to regulate and control current, diodes and rectifiers are found in nearly all electronic devices, from simple circuits to complex power systems. For engineers working on power supplies or signal processing, these components provide reliable and efficient performance.
