Hello, a lightning struck near my home and burn some outlets and crashed my CRT Tv, I noticed the fuse meted, replaced it and after energizing it it melt again, looking for the problem I got the D3SB60 was in short(All pins were at the same AC voltage) so I decided to replace it, but happens that in my town there are not D3SB60 nor another rectifier IC, but I have some diodes and well, as the title suggest, I want to replace the D3SB60 rectifier with a 4 diodes arrangement. Is it posible? Any advices or anything to take on consideration? I would be using 4007 diodes(1000 V Maximum Reverse Voltage) and the IC has 600 V as Maximum Reverse Voltage.

600 PRV 4.0 Amp so yes, you can build a bridge using 4 EA independent diodes as long as it meets or exceeds the specifications of the bridge you currently have.

Each diode has 30 A IFSM and the IC has 120 IFSM so it would be Ok to use specifically those diodes?

I have noted every diode value is multiplied by 4 in the IC...so the IC is only an arragement of 4 diodes?

 

The 4007 diodes are only 1A rated so would not work as a replacement for a 4A bridge.

I did not catch that and per crutschow the 1N4000 series are only rated at 1.0 amp so no, you can't use them. The bridge you build must meet or exceed the existing bridge.

Yes, 4 diodes in a single package.

Hi: The D3SB60 is a 600 volt 4 amp bridge rectifier. You would need to use individual rectifiers rated at least 600 volts and 4 amps. Other than space limitation, I can't think of another reason why this can't be done.

 

You can try to find the 1N5552, 53, or 54 locally. Otherwise, Mouser lists the D3SB60-7000 for $1.80, in stock.

Hello,

Is the rectifier mounted on a heatsink?
If so I would use a rectifier with a mounting hole:

I have a D5SBA20 bridge rectifier from an old stereo. It's rated at 100 ~ 600 VAC and 6 amps. If you can get ahold of an old stereo chances are decent you will find a rectifier to fill your needs. Unless you're trying to fix an old stereo with a blown BR (Bridge Rectifier). A quick google search gave me a data sheet for what I have in my scrap bin. I probably have other BR's in my scrap bin but just haven't looked for them. The only reason I have this one on my bench top is because I recently dismantled an old stereo that had a CD player and a dual tape deck.

Scrap is a good source of parts.

[edit] Further investigation into the spec sheet, my BR is rated for 2.8 amps without a heatsink. Just so happens mine is not mounted on a heat sink, so my scrap system was obviously operating at no greater than 2.8 volts. The only reason for scrapping this unit is because the tape decks failed due to old drive belts, and the same was true of the CD player. The reception was horrible - and I had no real use for the unit anyway. So I scrapped it. Now I have MORE junk to hang onto just in case I need something later in life. (no, not like a new kidney)
