A 1N4005 has the exact same 1A 600V spec's. It is available everywhere, such as Mouser or Digikey. This one has a glass package like the original: https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Vishay-Semiconductors/1N4005GP-E3-73?qs=N4vtoAxH/SrnrLZEFs90/Q==
The other package it is commonly in is a solid black body with somewhat thicker leads which may not fit the holes on the PC board. You can drill the holes and make the black one fit if you have to. The band on the 1N4005 (cathode) installs in the hole that the white band on the original went into. Good luck!


Thank you i will keep you updated :)

If the diode is equivalent to a 1N4005, then I would suggest getting 1N4007 which is a 1000V diode. Why did the original diode fail? Too high a voltage?
