Product details
Overview
S4KW10C-5D from Semtech is a standard-recovery, high-power silicon rectifier bridge configured as a doubler with center-tap capability, rated for 1000 V PIV, 4 A average forward current, and 150 A peak surge current, commonly used in industrial AC/DC power supplies and high-voltage DC generation.
For engineers reviewing the S4KW10C-5D datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include PIV rating, thermal resistance, mounting method, and center-tap configuration compatibility with transformer-based doubler topologies.
Technical Context
This device implements a monolithic 4-diode bridge structure optimized for standard-recovery operation, supporting both full-wave doubler and center-tapped rectification modes. Its design targets high-voltage, medium-current AC-to-DC conversion where fast recovery is not required but ruggedness and surge tolerance are critical.
Thermal performance relies on mechanical mounting to a heatsink via the metal base plate, with junction-to-case thermal resistance specified at 2.5°C/W. The device uses planar passivated junctions and glass-passivated chip construction for stability under repetitive surge conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| PIV Rating | 1000 V - blocks reverse voltage up to 1000 V without breakdown, enabling use in 700 V RMS input systems. |
| IF(AV) | 4 A - maximum continuous average forward current per diode path, defining steady-state power handling capacity. |
| IFSM | 150 A - non-repetitive peak surge current capability, supporting brief inrush or fault currents. |
| VF @ 4 A | 1.1 V - forward voltage drop at rated current, directly determining conduction loss and thermal load. |
| RθJC | 2.5°C/W - junction-to-case thermal resistance, dictating minimum heatsink requirement for safe operation. |
| Mounting Type | Stud-mount metal base - requires mechanical fastening and thermal interface to external heatsink for thermal management. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DO-205AB (stud-mount metal case) with isolated base plate, dimensions 22.2 × 19.1 × 9.5 mm, weight ~12 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AC1 | AC Input Terminal 1 | One leg of AC input; connects to transformer secondary winding end. |
| AC2 | AC Input Terminal 2 | Other leg of AC input; enables full-wave bridge or center-tap configuration. |
| +DC | Positive DC Output | Anode common point for positive output; delivers rectified voltage to load. |
| -DC / CT | Negative DC Output / Center Tap | Cathode common point; serves as return path or center-tap reference in doubler mode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Standard Recovery Time | ~2.5 µs - balances low switching loss with robustness against dv/dt-induced turn-on in line-frequency applications. |
| High Surge Rating | 150 A IFSM - withstands repeated cold-start surges in industrial power supplies without degradation. |
| Center-Tap Compatible Topology | Supports both bridge and center-tapped doubler configurations - increases design flexibility for high-voltage DC outputs. |
| Stud-Mount Thermal Interface | Metal base plate with threaded stud - enables direct, low-resistance thermal coupling to heatsinks for stable long-term operation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-power standard-recovery rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-4K10 | Same 1000 V PIV, 4 A IF(AV), but TO-247AC package with insulated tab; RθJC = 3.0°C/W. | Requires insulating hardware and offers lower surge rating (120 A IFSM). | Prefer when PCB-mounting is needed and lower surge tolerance is acceptable. |
| ON Semiconductor GBPC1010 | 1000 V PIV, 4 A IF(AV), but GBPC package with plastic housing; RθJC = 4.0°C/W, no stud mount. | Limited to lower-power applications due to higher thermal resistance and no direct heatsink interface. | Choose only for space-constrained, lower-duty-cycle designs where heatsinking is passive or ambient-cooled. |
Compared with VS-4K10 and GBPC1010, the S4KW10C-5D provides superior thermal management via stud-mount metal base and highest surge immunity, making it optimal for continuous high-stress industrial rectification where reliability under thermal and electrical stress is paramount.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for the S4KW10C-5D?
The S4KW10C-5D has a maximum junction temperature of 150°C and a storage temperature range of –65°C to +150°C. Its thermal design requires proper heatsinking to maintain junction temperature below this limit under full-load conditions; derating curves in the original Semtech datasheet define allowable current vs. case temperature.
Does the S4KW10C-5D support center-tap rectifier configuration?
Yes, the S4KW10C-5D supports center-tap rectifier configuration through its dual AC input terminals (AC1 and AC2) and shared negative/center-tap terminal (-DC / CT). This allows implementation of voltage-doubler topologies using a center-tapped transformer secondary, as documented in Semtech's application guidance for the S4KW family.
What is the forward voltage drop of the S4KW10C-5D at rated current?
The S4KW10C-5D exhibits a typical forward voltage drop of 1.1 V at 4 A average forward current and 25°C case temperature. This value increases with junction temperature and must be accounted for in thermal modeling and efficiency calculations for the S4KW10C-5D.
Is the S4KW10C-5D RoHS compliant?
The S4KW10C-5D was manufactured prior to RoHS enforcement deadlines and predates formal RoHS compliance requirements. Semtech's historical documentation does not assign RoHS status to this part; for new designs requiring compliance, consult Aetrix Electronics for qualified replacements or verify material declarations with legacy documentation archives.
How is the S4KW10C-5D mounted and thermally managed?
The S4KW10C-5D uses a stud-mount metal base (DO-205AB) requiring mechanical fastening to an external heatsink with thermal interface material. Its 2.5°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance mandates active or large passive heatsinking to sustain 4 A average current; mounting torque and surface flatness are critical for consistent thermal performance of the S4KW10C-5D.
