    What bridge rectifier do you keep in your supply box?

    Just curious if it would be prudent to keep some commonly replaced ones on hand. Other than capacitors ( I have a ton) what are the best passive components to keep on hand? Thanks.

    GBU, GSIB ,VSIB ... cheap and easy to heatsink

    VSIB640 400v 6A : http://uk.farnell.com/multicomp/vsib...sib/dp/1861540

    VSIB660 : http://uk.farnell.com/multicomp/vsib...sib/dp/1861541

    GSIB1504 400v 15a: http://uk.farnell.com/multicomp/gsib...sib/dp/1861524

    GBU1006 800v 10A : http://uk.farnell.com/multicomp/gbu1...00v/dp/1621724

    Also use to have some bridge rectifiers in DIP package or small soic style formats, for example DF06M (600v 1.5A) : http://uk.farnell.com/fairchild-semi...dip/dp/1470960

    It's more expensive than 4 1n4007 diodes, but it looks much better on a prototyping board.

        Haven't needed to replace a bridge-rec in over 5 years!
        --It seems they are not a part that commonly fails in these parts...

        In USA however--You've twice the current running through 'em and more often than not the same parts used there as here.

          I just have loads of em that I have salvaged off boards. Only use them if I need one.

            Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
            by Tynan Dill
            I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

            Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

            I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

            The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

            With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

            Assuming...

            Desoldering gun station modified to use a 18 volt @ 20 amp switching power supply
            by sam_sam_sam
            I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump

            One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy...

            Bridge rectifier identification part number KPB305G
            by Steph.hen
            Hi all, a newby question about a bridge rectifier I'm trying to identify.

            I'm in the midst of reparing a battery charger in work which went pop, The bridge rectifier has shorted and took out a couple of other components. The rectifier in question has a part number KPB305G, and it looks like it's obsolete. Does any one know what I could replace it with?...

            Fujitsu Q556, What capacitor for bridge rectifier?
            by mpn78
            Hello

            My Fujitsu Esprimo Q556 motherboards blew up. At least fuse, bridge rectifier and capacitor got damaged. I have changed fuse and bridge rectifier (DF1508S), but I don't know what capacitor it is (picture). I know that capacitors size is 47nF, but I don't know other specs for it. Can you help me to choose right capacitor for my motherboard?
            There is 240V AC on input side of bridge rectifier and 340V DC as output on capasitors side.

            Thanks....

            Modification to a ZD-987 desoldering/soldering station using a external switching power supply
            by sam_sam_sam
            I have been working on this concept for quite some time now with limited success but recently I found a switching power supply that is setup for the voltage that this soldering station needs to operate at however it also needs part of the secondary circuit from the original switching power because you need several voltage rails

            I once tried to get a ZD-915 desoldering station to work on a 18 volt battery power supply but unfortunately things did not go well but I did find a work around but I might try this idea again but going at a little differently more about this another time...
