pic16f84 using w02m (1.5a bridge rectifier)

Actually it is a 1A rectifier...
And yes, it would be fine to avoid connecting polarities wrong.

Do keep in mind that there will be a drop of approx. 1.4V over the rectifier.

many tnx man.....more power
 
Are you talking about just rectifying an AC signal and sending it to the PIC? In theory it works, but transformer-created AC signals have a lot of voltage variation and spikes which will cause unreliable operation or outright fry the PIC. In reality you must have a regulator.
 

I was presuming he meant using a bridge to connect a battery, to prevent connecting it the wrong way? - from the way the question was worded.
