Title: Bridge Rectifiers
Post by: SirPeale on February 17, 2010, 03:42:10 pm

Looking for some to keep on hand.  I'm pretty sure these two will do, right?

One (http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Fairchild-Semiconductor/GBPC3502/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMtcLAek5QF0i29EdKsLUhPgGHhHT7GhpbM%3d)

Two (http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Fairchild-Semiconductor/GBPC3502W/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMtcLAek5QF0i29EdKsLUhPgvLOwz2K2VFU%3d)

The type in link one is the one I most commonly see, plus it goes in games like Centipede, right?

Guess you can do with a lighter one. Holy crap: 35A! That's gonna melt your PCB lines.

Still on the cardboard box quest... seriously.

I don't get the reference.

Only if 35A gets pumped thru it.  The fuses better blow way before that happens.

Was looking this up, and NOW I get the reference.  Did you ever find one?

Yep, those are the ones....keep both on hand.  You'll mostly see the one with the wire leads on boards, but the lug style is common for backbox mounted.
Just don't forget fuse holders for those older Williams games that don't have fuses before the rectifier.
