    A bridge rectifier contains 4 diodes arranged in a bridge configuration that converts alternating current to direct current. It rectifies both halves of the AC signal through the four diodes. A capacitor is needed across the output terminals to smooth the pulsating direct current produced by the bridge rectifier into a less rippled direct current signal.

    Bridge Rectifier

    A full-wave rectifier in which there are four arms - each containing a diode. Converts an AC
    voltage to a pulsating DC voltage.

    The 4 diodes form a bridge rectifier. This rectifies both halves of the AC signal. Note that a
    capacitor across the DC out terminals is required to smooth the ripple.
