Abstract

To improve the stability and robustness of a rectifier and to protect it against atmospheric influences, two plate-like, series-connected semiconductor diodes are soldered to a common tap electrode between them. An external lead wire is soldered to each of the remaining sides of the diodes. The entire soldered structure is embedded in a single mass of resin or plastic, the ends of the electrodes being configured to serve as anchoring elements in the plastic mass.
