Silicon diode rectifiers

200V is plenty of voltage.  Some would say using 10 or higher amps would be better since the ZW can source more than 6 amps.   G

Usually, higher voltage diodes just costs a few pennies more. Higher amperage can easily cost multiple times more.

6A is a bit light for the ZW, that's the size I use in stuff like the 1033.

GGG, #1 and GRJ,

 

thanks for the replies.  They had the 10 Amp rectifiers for the same price,  also.  I will replace the 6 amp as soon as I can get back there.  I was concerned after reading the ads recommending the much larger 600 V 40 Amp size.

I tried to replace the disk in my 1033 last night,  It connected differently than the ZW. Any advice on how the rectifier is to be connected?

gandydance,

We're neighbors (kinda - Columbus here) how about posting your email address in your profile so we can communicate?  I'd like to know where you found the diodes...

Best,

Dave

Here's one that is suitable for the ZW: http://www.digikey.com/scripts...PV914=35&stock=1

 

Hi Dave, 

The rectifers are at Mendelson's Liquidation Outlet on E 1st St. near the Dayton Dragon's ballpark.  I went back there on thurs.  They have 200V 6Amp & 10Amp @ $1 each in large quantity plus lots of other sizes.

Good price on 10A diodes.

 

I don't see them on the website, would they be called something else?

gunrunnerjohn, the website doesn't come close to listing all the surplus that Mendelson's has in stock. Electronics are grouped by general type on shelving.  i.e., diode rectifiers all types, are shelved in boxes labeled with a P/N & volt/amp rating.  I know they do mail & phone orders, don't know about internet.

They are having a 1/2 price sale on all teflon clad cookware in stock, if you're interested!

I'm sure of that, but I can't buy what I can't see.
