TS4K60-A Bridge Rectifier Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TS4K60-A is a single-phase bridge rectifier manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation, rated for 600 V peak reverse voltage and 4 A average rectified current. This component is designed for through-hole mounting applications requiring standard bridge rectification in the 4-SIP package configuration. The TS4K60-A is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, necessitating identification of equivalent parts for ongoing design support and procurement.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TS4K60-A bridge rectifier is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Criteria:

• Diode Type: Single Phase
• Technology: Standard
• Voltage - Peak Reverse (Max): 600 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io): 4 A
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 1 V @ 2 A
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 10 µA @ 600 V
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 150°C (TJ)

Mechanical Equivalence Criteria:

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

Compliance Equivalence Criteria:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

Parts meeting all specified parameters within these categories are classified as direct equivalents and substitutes for the TS4K60-A.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TS4K60-A is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. Direct equivalent parts meeting identical electrical specifications, mechanical packaging, and compliance certifications are available as substitutes. Selection of equivalent bridge rectifier components should be based on confirmation of matching parameters across all specified categories: electrical ratings (voltage, current, temperature), mechanical form factor (4-SIP through-hole package), and regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH).

Parts designated as substitutes maintain full compatibility with existing circuit designs and PCB layouts when all specified parameters are matched. Compliance certifications including ROHS3 and REACH status ensure regulatory alignment for applications subject to environmental and hazardous substance restrictions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes a part a direct equivalent to the TS4K60-A?

A: A direct equivalent must match all specified electrical parameters (600 V peak reverse voltage, 4 A average rectified current, 1 V forward voltage at 2 A, 10 µA reverse leakage at 600 V), operate across the same temperature range (-55°C to 150°C), use identical through-hole mounting, employ the 4-SIP package configuration, and maintain ROHS3 and REACH compliance status.

Q: Can the TS4K60-A be replaced with a different package type?

A: No. The TS4K60-A uses a 4-SIP through-hole package. Substitutes must employ the same package type and mounting method to ensure PCB compatibility and circuit functionality. Different package configurations are not interchangeable without circuit board redesign.

Q: Are there electrical performance differences between the TS4K60-A and its substitutes?

A: Direct substitutes specified in this reference maintain identical electrical performance across all rated parameters. Forward voltage, reverse leakage current, peak reverse voltage, and average rectified current ratings are equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the ROHS3 and REACH compliance status?

A: ROHS3 compliance indicates the part meets restrictions on hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. REACH Unaffected status confirms the part is not subject to REACH authorization requirements. Both certifications are maintained across equivalent parts, ensuring regulatory compliance for applications in restricted markets.

Q: Is the TS4K60-A suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: The TS4K60-A operates across a junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C, supporting both low-temperature and elevated-temperature applications within this specified range. Equivalent substitutes maintain this same operating temperature specification.
