Diodes Incorporated ABS10A-13

Overview

ABS10A-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.0A, 1000V glass passivated surface-mount bridge rectifier in SOPA-4 package, featuring 1.1V max forward voltage at 1.0A and 5μA max reverse leakage at 1000V/25°C, used for AC–DC full-wave rectification in LED lighting drivers and offline SMPS power supplies.

For engineers reviewing the ABS10A-13 datasheet, ABS10A-13 pinout, ABS10A-13 application, or ABS10A-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include peak repetitive reverse voltage (1000V), average output current rating (1.0A @ +30°C), thermal resistance (66°C/W junction-to-ambient), and RoHS-compliant lead-free matte tin plating.

Technical Context

This single-phase, full-wave bridge rectifier integrates four silicon diodes in a monolithic glass-passivated configuration, enabling compact AC input stage conversion without external interconnects. It supports 35A non-repetitive surge current (8.3ms half-sine) and maintains ≤500μA leakage up to +125°C.

Designed for FR-4 PCB mounting with 0.56"×0.73" copper pads, its thermal performance relies on junction-to-lead resistance of 37°C/W and derates linearly above +30°C ambient-dropping to ~0.6A at +100°C per Figure 1.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

ABS10A-13 uses the SOPA-4 surface-mount package (4.8–5.3mm × 6.0–6.8mm × 1.2–1.5mm height), molded in UL 94V-0 plastic with matte tin–plated terminals. Polarity is marked on the body: "+" and "−" denote DC output terminals; AC inputs are unmarked adjacent pins.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.

Compared with GBU4K and MB10F, ABS10A-13 offers optimal balance of miniaturization, thermal efficiency (66°C/W), and low-leakage performance (5μA) for space-constrained 1A AC–DC front-ends-making it preferred for LED drivers and compact adapters where board area and no-load loss are critical.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating temperature for ABS10A-13?

The ABS10A-13 has an operating junction temperature range of –55°C to +150°C. Its DC current rating drops from 1.0A at +30°C ambient to approximately 0.6A at +100°C ambient, based on thermal resistance of 66°C/W and recommended 0.56"×0.73" copper pad layout per datasheet Figure 1.

Is ABS10A-13 compatible with lead-free reflow processes?

Yes. ABS10A-13 features matte tin–plated terminals qualified per MIL-STD-202, Method 208, and is rated for standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C). Its moisture sensitivity level is Level 1 per J-STD-020, eliminating bake requirements prior to assembly.

How does the SOPA-4 package differ from standard SOIC-4?

SOPA-4 is a proprietary Diodes package with wider body (6.0–6.8mm width vs. SOIC-4's ~3.9mm), longer leads (4.8–5.3mm length), and optimized thermal pad geometry. Unlike SOIC-4, SOPA-4 is designed explicitly for high-current rectifiers, offering lower R_θJL (37°C/W) and enhanced creepage for 1000V isolation.

Can ABS10A-13 be used in capacitive-input filter configurations?

Yes, but with 20% current derating per datasheet Note 6. In capacitive-input (choke-input) SMPS designs, the average output current must be limited to 0.8A to prevent overheating due to high peak currents during capacitor recharge cycles.
