Hi Mike,

No I haven't talked to Philips about it since I got the information from ou=
r =

local distributor which in turn has a hard time to find any replacement. I =

guess they would have talked to Philips but you never know. Thanks for the =
tip, =

I will check it myself.

Philips web site actually says it is discontinued because of the Stadskanaa=
l =

plant closure in Netherlands and that the product is non manufacturable.

I have found replacement diodes but they cost about 10 times more than the =

BY8410 (about 2$ per part instead of 0.2$ in 10000's quantity) which gets a=
 lot =

when you need 24 diodes per unit.

Regards / Ruben
