The MZ2361 is used at several places in the amp. It is just what the schematic symbol shows: two small-signal diode junctions in series, but assembled into one package. There is a Data Sheet for the Microsemi MZ2361 at http://search.microsemi.com/Reports/AdvancedWebSearch.aspx It is an obsolete part, and the possible alternates shown in that Data Sheet are also obsolete.

The Central Semiconductor CMZ2361 looks like a possible substitute. Product page is at http://www.centralsemi.com/product/partpage2.php?part=CMZ2361 and Data Sheet at http://www.centralsemi.com/PDFs/products/CMZ2361.PDF

I suspect the SZ51066K is quite similar, except it uses three diode junctions in series. Drawing Note #4 tells you it is mounted on the heatsink so I would guess its temperature sensitivity is more important than the actual forward voltage. I can not find specs but the Central Semiconductor CMPD300, or CN4157, or CSTB568, or 1N4157, or 1N4830, or MPD300 may be close. Data Sheet at http://www.centralsemi.com/PDFs/products/LSSGP123.PDF Unfortunately they are all discontinued but you might find old stock at some of the supliers who carry old-stock components. Good luck.

Hi Bill, I see you just joined.I appreciate you trying to be helpful, but I highly suggest not putting your email address right in the forum thread. That is likely to get picked up by spam bots.

A better way would be to invite a personal message to you via the forum, then exchange emails in private.
