Cushman Rectifier Bridge – CU840679

Converting alternating current into direct current is the single job of this bridge rectifier in the electrical system of Cushman equipment. Its diodes are arranged so that both halves of the AC waveform are steered the same direction, turning them into steady DC output, the function a battery charging circuit or a DC supply circuit depends on.

Built as one mountable bridge, it consolidates that diode network into a single package that bolts in and sheds its heat through the mounting surface. Rectifier diodes fail from heat and voltage spikes, either opening, which drops the output, or shorting, which passes AC through and can damage what it feeds; either way the charging or DC circuit stops behaving correctly, which is the point at which the bridge is replaced.

Cushman specifies this rectifier for models built around its electrical architecture, so match the bridge's current and voltage rating and its terminal arrangement to the unit being replaced, since those determine whether it handles the circuit's load and wires in the same way.
