Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TS10K40-A bridge rectifier is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Voltage - Peak Reverse (Max): 400 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 10 A
• Diode Type: Single Phase
• Technology: Standard

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: 4-SIP, TS4K

Environmental & Compliance Parameters (Must Match or Exceed):

• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 150°C (TJ)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

A substitute part must satisfy all electrical and mechanical parameters identically. Environmental and compliance specifications must meet or exceed the original part requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TS10K40-A is the direct equivalent part listed in the substitute parts database. This part maintains full electrical, mechanical, and environmental specification parity with the original component.

Compliance Considerations:

• ROHS3 Compliant status ensures regulatory compliance for applications subject to RoHS directives
• REACH Unaffected status confirms no restricted substances of concern
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) indicates no moisture-related handling restrictions during storage or assembly

Product Status: The TS10K40-A is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. For applications currently using this bridge rectifier, component sourcing should prioritize available inventory from authorized distributors. The part remains functionally equivalent to itself and maintains full specification compliance for new designs or replacement applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes the TS10K40-A suitable as a substitute for itself? A: The TS10K40-A meets all electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications identically. It is the direct equivalent part with no parameter deviations.

Q: Can I use a bridge rectifier with higher voltage or current ratings as a substitute? A: Substitution requires exact parameter matching for the specified application. Higher-rated components may introduce design changes and are not considered direct equivalents under the substitution criteria.

Q: What is the significance of the TS4K package designation? A: The TS4K package is a 4-SIP (Single In-line Package) through-hole configuration. Substitutes must use identical package geometry to ensure PCB compatibility and mounting without design modifications.

Q: Does the ROHS3 Compliant status affect substitution eligibility? A: ROHS3 Compliant status is a compliance requirement. Substitute parts must maintain this certification to ensure regulatory compliance in the target application.

Q: What does Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) mean for component handling? A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates the component has no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Standard handling and storage procedures apply without special moisture control requirements.

Q: Is the TS10K40-A suitable for applications requiring -55°C to 150°C operation? A: The operating temperature range of -55°C to 150°C (TJ) is specified for this component. Applications requiring operation within this range are within the component's rated specifications.

Q: What is the difference between Peak Reverse Voltage and Forward Voltage specifications? A: Peak Reverse Voltage (400 V) is the maximum reverse bias voltage the rectifier can withstand. Forward Voltage (1 V @ 5 A) is the voltage drop across the rectifier during forward conduction at specified current.
