looking for a source for a Diode for P65VT60 SC card

[djw43]

Hello,
I am attempting to repair the SC card in a P65VT60.
I have found the transistors on ebay, but there is an elusive diode on the board that is shorted out that I can't find without waiting 5 weeks for a CHina delivery.
The diode is:
RFUH20T3S diode D401 on the board.
I believe it is
D16401
panasonic part # B0FBCN000012

even though I have looked extensively, I am open to suggestions.
It's used in a handful of other panasonics.
thanks,
dave in NJ

Have you tested it out of circuit ? The 2 forward legs are tied together and will read as a short.

thanks for the suggestion, on the 6 transistors and this diode, there was a short on all three combos of legs.
1 to 2, 2 to 3 and 3 to 1, all shorts

it's made by ROHM not Panasonic

thanks, yes, I can buy it from ROHM but the shipping takes 5 weeks!

While on the board, the diode will test as a short. That's because the igbt's are shorted. Remove them first and your diode should be fine.
