For an application requiring direct connection to mains (250 V, 50 Hz), which rectifier diode should i use ? It should be able to handle a continuous reverse voltage of ~350 V. It would be nice if the number is specified for a range of current handling capacities .

 

Sorry, discussion of circuits with direct connection to mains without a transformer is not allowed. See the Terms of Service below.
