"Does exactly what a rectifier should do - make DC out of AC. MUCH easier than 2 years of tech school and hours with a soldering iron, perf board and discrete components. I have used these for years to make "quick and dirty" DC power supplies for various equipment.

Bad part marking

★★★☆☆
3.0

"The markings are perfect. If you know how a full wave rectifier works, you know that the polarity doesn't matter for the AC input. Connect the two AC wires to the two AC pins, connect the negative pin to ground and, Viola, you get a positive output on the positive pin. "
