I have a 2W10 bridge rectifier and according to a thermal camera, it is operating at >105 deg C (out of range). I would like to know, is this normal? Assuming it is operating at its rated current, it should dissipate about 1.2*2=2.4W (I believe).
Its max operating temperature is also given as 125 deg C, is this assuming normal load conditions?
The temperature seems fairly high to me, bearing in mind there is no heatsink.
Sorry if this question seems uninformed.
Thanks in advance
