In Reply to: RE: Upgrading 1N4003 diodes to Stealth 8 amp 600v. posted by alley -kat on August 20, 2016 at 03:56:02:
Both companies have great websites where you can find Schottkys or any other diodes they carry or capacitors or resistors, etc, etc, by using their on-line filters. For example, you would type in "Schottky rectifier diode" and find that they have hundreds if not thousands of different types in terms of amps and volts. Then filter for the amperage and voltage you need, and you will narrow it down to a manageable bunch of choices. If you're looking for a particular brand, Cree is good but so are most others. When it comes to voltage rating, if you are using the diodes in a bridge (4 rectifiers connected head to head and head to tail) then you usually want 2X the highest voltage that will appear. If not in a bridge, 3X is a better safety margin for voltage.
