I've been asked by someone in Brazil to source a very small quantity of very high VRRM fast recovery diodes, namely something along the lines of a BY711/BY8418/SHV-24. The specs required are VRRM 17KV min @ 3mA, the man foolishly wants to build an Electro-static power supply for this - http://www3.telus.net/chemelec/Projects/Electrostatic/Electrostatic-Sc h.png The normal suspects (Farnell, RS Components) just about stock microwave oven diodes and go no higher - Mouser doesn't go above 2KV and Digikey catalogue is a nightmare, but appears not to stock them. Vishay - drawn a blank Infineon - ditto Zetex - ditto. I've Giggled for them, but just end up with datasheet servers. If anyone has alternative part numbers with these specs, I could hunt aorund for them. Thanks Colin -- cdb, 20/04/2008 -- colin@btech-online.co.uk -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
