Using 1N4001 instead of B40C800?

Parts Questions
1

I have to use 4 1N4001’s on my core circuit because I can’t find any UK supplier of B40C800 bridge rectifier.

Now, I’m a little unsure how to connect up the 1N4001’s - is this correct:

Thanks!

I was just looking on the eDrum website which uses similar components for that circuit, and it said the bridge rectifier W005 would be suitable as a replacement.

Part - W005,

PIV- 50V

Ifav. - 1.5A

Max RMS- 35V

Max cap- 5000µF

Max Vf per diode- 1.1V/1A

What do you think? :-/

Hey Pulse

Yes you can use 1N4001 instead of B40C800, but

your picture is not right.

The white band on them have to point from - to +.

Like this:

(as I can’t put a picture I use text to draw a diode,

like this   -|–|------|-,  the | in middle is the white band)

AC

 -|–|------|-    VSS (-)

         

|                                                   |

–                                   –

|                                                   |

|                                                   |

|                                                   |

–                                   –

|                                                   |

–                                   –

|                                                   |

-|–|------|-

               

VDD(+)                   AC

Hope this helps
