Author Topic: Fast Recovery Diodes vs. Standard Diodes For Rectifiers.... Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-14-2002 02:22 PM                     Whilst ordering my latest batch of replacement diodes for stock I noticed that there are now large DO-5 stud mount diodes available in the fast recovery versions. Has anyone tried these out as replacements in xenon rectifiers? What advantages would they have,if any? Mark @ GTS  |  IP: Logged Ken Layton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1452 From: Olympia, Wash.

For general raw DC applications rectifying 60 or 50 Hz. ordinary diodes would suffice.  |  IP: Logged
