Hello,
I am designing a transformerless linear AC 120v to DC 5v power supply with an output of about 500ma for a PIC microcontroller and LCD.
I am considering a Fairchild bridge rectifier. The Fairchild data sheet lists 7 different models (DF005 - DF10M) with the same specs but with different max reverse voltages (50 -1000v).
Should I just use the 1000v max reverse voltage rectifier or does a lesser one have an advantage?
