No.... Don't do that. If you're looking to truly upgrade your rectifiers with discreet parts go get some boards and build them out right. I've got a couple of nice rectifier boards I'd be happy to give you, but I've only got 2.

Just get 35amp bridges. I had 25amp ones but after 2 years they cracked. Make sure you mount them on the chassis with paste for some heat sinking. http://www.mouser.com/Semiconductors/Discrete-Semiconductors/Diodes-Rectifiers/Bridge-Rectifiers/_/N-ax1mf?P=1yzxhyxZ1yuo9ua Cheers George |
A fully discreet rectifier can be built to smooth and filter the power. Is it worth the hassle? A lot of people think not. It's the way to go if you want the most ideal rectification possible. Some like fast diodes. Some like slow. Some want to tune and filter the stage. That's how to do it. I did what George suggested; 250V, 35A Vishay bridge rectifiers. The heatsinks alone are more expensive than the Vishay parts. |
