#88133 - Options, Options
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Rob Klein said:
To give the builder a choise between an 'integrated' bridge and one with four discrete diodes, maybe?

Steve M. Taylor said:
...hence the words OPTIONAL on the discrete bridge ???

Ah, yes, right.

It's just badly labelled: the way it's labelled suggests that the discrete bridge is an optional extra;
in fact, the option is to use either the discrete diodes or the integrated bridge.

Further options would be to just use a single diode - making it reverse-polarity protected, rather than polarity-independent - or to do away with the diodes altogether!

1N4007 does seem somewhat excessive...
(may be just one of those cases where the higher rating is actually cheaper...?)
