Coil can be replaced by Inductor for a bridge rectifier?

[Electrical_Shocker]

I have a copper coil (1000 turns) which is connected to a bridge rectifier (W10G-E4/51). I need 100 of these for my project. I have attached images for the prototype model that I received. but for 100 of these the labor charges are high for mounting the rectifier on the coil as shown. My question is - can I replace coil by an inductor or get a different rectifier?. Please suggest any different ideas.

Not enough info to answer, but I'm guessing it depends on the magnetic field intensity and the current you need to drive the rectifier?
A coil itself is an inductor.

Sorry guys for the incomplete information. the coil is acting as an electromagnet. The purpose is to control the gas valve. I think I could not use a inductor just because the coil helps to control the valve. Any suggestions on the design? Should I use a different SMT rectifier and create a circuit through the terminals shown ? Any suggestions that would save my cost to create this model would really help.

Thank You guys for all responses

It's only an hour or so's work for all 100. Can't you do that yourself?

the fiber case which is holding the coil and the rectifier together is costing me more than the rectifier and the coil. its 8 times more to create that. So just asking if i could create a circuit which can connect the coil and rectifier. It will be okay if I use a different SMT rectifier to mount on that circuit.

You should define what you mean by a coil and an inductor.
You will need to determine the voltage and current necessary to operate the valve.
SMT components are often weaker than the bridge block rectifiers.
I would prefer the rectifier to be separate from the coil. Vibration and temperature will not improve the reliability.

What's the reason for the bridge rectifier?

 

[Electrical_Shocker]

bridge rectifier would just convert AC to DC as the valves would need a DC to operate.

Ahhh... I didn't see the coil connected to the free ends of the rectifier.

Why not power them direct from DC in the first place?

Not sure what 'pull' you require nor the operating voltage(s) but you can purchase pull solenoids cheaply anyway:
