diode sub?

[daz]

Can anyone tell me which diodes i could use to create a rectifier to replace a rectifier package gone bad? The rectifier is a KBU800 rated 8A.

They don't make many single diodes in an 8 amp rating. The ones that do exist are mostly ultrafast ones in TO220, and need bolted to a heatsink to achieve the 8 amp rating.

So, your best bet is just to buy another rectifier.

ok, thank you.
