Product Overview
Archer catalog number 276-1152 is a vintage single-phase full-wave bridge rectifier packaged by Radio Shack. Rated for 100 PIV and 1.4 amps continuous forward current, this 4-lead through-hole component converts alternating current to direct current across power supplies, vintage radios, audio equipment, and custom hobby builds.
Key Features
- Working peak reverse voltage (PIV): 100V
- RMS reverse voltage: 70V
- Average DC forward current: 1.4A at 60°C
- Peak surge current (8.3 ms non-repetitive): 50A at 60°C
- Peak surge current (1.0 sec at 60 Hz): 8A at 60°C
- Operating temperature range: -50°C to +150°C
- Four-lead cylindrical through-hole form factor with positive terminal stamped on top
Applications
- Replacing worn rectifiers in vintage Radio Shack kits, tabletop radios, and solid-state amplifiers
- Building dedicated DC linear power supplies for home bench projects
- Restoring classic electronics while keeping period-correct Archer branded components
- Designing breadboard and prototyping circuits needing straightforward AC-to-DC conversion
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the pinout oriented on the 276-1152?
The top face of the circular body is stamped with a plus symbol to identify the positive DC lead. The package card back illustrates the exact terminal arrangement for both AC inputs and the negative return.
What are the surge current tolerances for this rectifier?
The factory card specifies a non-repetitive peak forward surge rating of 50 amps for 8.3 milliseconds, and up to 8 amps for 1.0 second at 60 Hz, rated at an ambient temperature of 60°C.
Why buy this single vintage piece instead of a bulk surplus grab bag?
You receive the exact, verified Archer part shown, preserved in its original unopened packaging with factory pinout and ratings intact, rather than sorting through unverified loose diodes. Orders ship flat-rate for $8 or free when you reach $28, departing our Idaho warehouse the same or next business day.
Nothing quite matches pulling a genuine Archer card off the peg to put classic gear back into service. It is clean, correct, and ready for your bench.
Shipping? $8 flat rate, free once your order passes $28 - and it leaves the Idaho warehouse the same or next business day.
