MUR860 equivalent

mxv146 · 26th October 2004, 05:37 AM

Hello,

I live in Kerala, India where it is hard to find the parts to build a gainclone. I've still managed to get most of the parts except the recommended MUR860 diodes. Is there a more commonly available equivalent for this component? Perhaps a fellow DIYer in India could suggest a place in India where the MUR860 might be available?

Thanks!

Mahesh

I don't know if this helps, but it might be worth a shot.

Is it possible for you to get samples from On Semi or Fairchild?

I ordered 20 samples from On, they charged $15 US for shipping. They came from Singapore.

I ordered a dozen RURP860 samples from Fairchild, no charge. Both arrived by courrier within a few days.

What else can one get from onsemi(recommandations...)?

Cochin is a beautiful place to live, Mahesh! I love it very much. It's a pity that I won't be there again for a year or 2, or I could bring you some MUR860s...

Surely someone in Bangalore or Delhi must supply them

fyi, they cost SGD1.29 ea for quantities above 25 in singapore. i thought it'd be easier to source these in canada or north america?

Strange how it worked out, but in quantities of 10's they're $1.35 cdn each plus shipping from Digikey. So the 20 I got would have cost $35 cdn instead of the $20 cdn I paid for shipping from On. All in all it was the most expedient solution for me.

Other places like Newark, Arrow, Future didn't have any better prices, at least as far as I remember.

Hi Mahesh,
I can get you parts available in Chennai. I couldn't find MUR860 but they have MUR1660. I will be going to the market to get some rectifiers for my Gainclone which currently uses a 10A moulded bridge.
By the way MUR 1660 is two diodes with the anodes connected. Apparently we can use these in parallel.
I will also look for 10A Schottky diodes.
Cheers,
Ashok.

How about this one.

MBR1060 Schottky barrier diode 60V 10A/150Ap TO220AC

Don't know if its as fast as the mur860 but it think its better then a standart bridge rectifier.
