Hi Horta, Thanks for your offer but this is for a commercial product (see www.liros.s= e = atistatic section) and need about 10000-15000 diodes per year (and counting= on = expanding that). So I am really looking for a non obsoleted part as a = replacement. I am also a bit concerned about the higher forward voltage drop of the BY72= 3 = compared to the BY8400 but am not sure how it would effect the final output = voltage (there are 12 diodes per multiplier), if at all. Have to be tested. So again, thank you for your offer and I will get back to you if I get real= ly = desperate :-) Best regards / Ruben > Hi Ruben, perhaps today is your lucky day, I have tons of BY723, I do= n=B4t > know if it=B4s a suitable replacement but if so, I would be more than pl= eased > to send you a 100 or whatever quantity you need.
