hi,
I'm looking for a full-wave rectifier valve that requires 5v for heaters and a current less than 2A as my transformer is rated 5v/2A,
my obvious guess would be any 5y3 and etc. but the 2A rated transformer might not be the best for the job.
I can't think of any 5v rectifier that draws less than 2A, any suggestions?
thanx.

yes, thank you, still a quite high heater current draw for a 2A rated transformer.
anything else in mind?

The 5Y3 is rated at 2A as is your transformer. If the transformer rating is to be trusted, it will be fine.
5W4GT is drawing 1,5A (if 90mA HT is enough for your needs)
5W4GT, Tube 5W4GT; Rohre 5W4GT ID4535, High-vacuum Rectifier

5AR4 would seem to be the correct tool for the job
250 miliamps B+ and it operates under your 2A limit.
If you need a valve rectifier 5AR4 is hard to beat.
