Which rectifier diodes to use?

[Wayne Alexander]

Well, I ordered a bunch of parts and will be starting an Express soon. One question - what type of diodes to use for the rectifier? Can someone give me a value and part number for Mouser or somewhere similar? Thanks.

Hi Wayne,

Most everyone uses 1N4007 diodes. They have a 1 amp/ 1000V rating if I remember correctly. Mouse P/N: 833-1N4007 (cost = 5 cents per piece)

Thanks, Snide, that's what I was thinking, but the values weren't shown on the schematics or layouts.

Your local Radio Shack might carry these rectifier diodes. Mine does, which makes it much easier to buy a bunch there rather than order from Mouser.
