hello, I want to use a schottky barrier rectifier, as rectification bridge, for a 12v circuit.
i got these S30D45C from some dead psu's.

can I use them ?
 

i hoped to build it with just two, never used them before, but i saw its like this printed on the ic ->| X |<-
so i guessed that the X would be the + and the other X of the other IC would be the gnd.
 

Yes, they are common anode, as all standard dual schottky rectifiers. Review the datasheet.

A full bridge looks like

So to do this with two devices you need either two "D" devices or one "C" and one "A".
Two "C" devices can't be connected as the schematic above.
 

schottky worked just fine , finally!
thank you
