You want the Fairchild ISL9R8120P2 solid state rectifier diodes.

What brands of rectifiers are available in your area?

Thanks TY_power
After a couple of hours googling these diodes (FREDS), i found them in a french site and i ordered them.I ll have in mind the alternatives you suggest so thank you very much.

Glad you found some. Keep in mind there is a high incidence of failure reports over recent batches of the IXYS parts. The Fairchild diodes appear to be much more rugged, and if you have the opportunity I'd recommend you use them instead. See some comments here:
