Suggestion of good bridge diode for A2

Alvin · 28th May 2005, 01:57 AM

I'm planning to build an A2. Choosing diode is a headache!
May I know which diode should sound better?
For simplicity, I would like to choose a bridged one, with cap add-on latter.
Which one may have less voltage drop and generate less heat?

For International Rectifier 35A diode, what will be the difference between a 36MB series (e.g. 36MB100A) and a "Suffix A" series (e.g. GBPC3502A)? It seems the latter is cheaper. Thanks very much!

This is what i like to know also.
Is it enough to have two 25A (discrete) bridges per powersupply, ore do you need 34A bridges?

35A diode, Should be plenty.

If you want the best of the best use IXYS bridges. Here is the link: http://ixys.com/Appasp/pdrmod16.asp
