[quote=mike31154;678937]You're much better off finding a 24 VDC adapter. All the components will be designed to the specifications the adapter is made for. Trying to piece together a full wave rectifier with loose components without knowing the specs of the adapter you're using is looking for trouble. There's generally more to a rectifier than a few diodes. Many rectifier circuits include resistors, capacitors & coils to further filter the AC signal.
The transformer he is using is rated at 1 amp, the diodes are rated at 1 amp, the coil he is powering probably draws about 1/4 amp, he has soldered his connections, other than the reverse polarity he has done a fine job.
