I can’t seem to find anyone locally stocking this bridge rectifier, and the bill of materials for the project I’m working on doesn’t offer an equivalent alternative – is anyone able to assist?
It's a 600V 1.5A bridge rectifier. Any equal or better package will work, or individual diodes too. A couple of substitutions I found were the NTE5305 and Multicomp MCAM156.
Thanks! Assume the W04 would be ok?

BTW - love the Thomas Paine quote – he is a hero of mine.
On another note, is there a more modern (ie. less noisy) regulator than the LE50 that is a pin-for-pin replacement?
The LE50 is here:
LE50CZ - STMICROELECTRONICS - IC, V REG +5.0V, TO-92-3 | element14 Australia

The W04 is most likely a 400V part. Don't use it unless you are absolutely certain the circuit will not exceed that PIV rating.
The LE50 has a fairly respectable noise rating of 50μV. I'm not aware of a 5v LDO reg with a better spec.

It should be okay, but I think your analysis is slightly flawed.
What you need to watch for is both AC and DC sides of the diode. For example, when a filter cap is charged to +17V, that voltage is seen on one side (the cathode) of the rectifier diode. When that end of the transformer secondary is at the peak of the negative waveform, the diode sees -17V at that other side (the anode). So the diode sees a PIV of 34V.

Hi I was wondering what kind of diode I could use to sub the W06M if anybody could tell me cause Google send me here. Thank you for the help.
Yes sir but just saw that could be replace with the NTE5305 and Multicomp MCAM156 didn't see any of the diode name you know the hole 1N4XXX. And that was my question can I replaces the w06m with four the diodes.

Yes, you can replace with four diodes but 1N400x series are not suitable. There are literally dozens of 600v 1.5 amp or higher bridge rectifiers available.

Ok well thank you I guess I have to buy the w06m but I was asking since I had some diode and my locate tech store dont have them or I have to buy them and pay s&h witch didn't want to or ebay but wait for three weeks since is coming over seas. Thanks again.
Well... it depends how its used. Its a 1.5 amp part and the IN400x are 1 amp max.
If your application doesn't need that current rating then you could use something else. It might use the W06M because its a small package and that is about as small current wise as encapsulated bridge rectifiers get.
There are countless diodes that should be available off the shelf to replace this whether separate diodes or complete packages. You shouldn't have to order it specially.
What is it used in ?

Well its a headphone amp I'm trying to make it would be power by a small 9V transformer that I salvage from a computer speakers.
Right, so with that information any of the 1N400x series would be fine, even the 1N4001

Sorry did I not provide enough info on what I'm building. I'm building a headphone amp by this web site.

Ok thank you so much and last question on the resistor thus it matter if I get a different watt number cause I need a 1/8W but can I use a 1/4W.
