FVFM High Voltage rectifier

[Raygers]

I have an electronic air cleaner with a zapped diode FV5M-10. Living in a smaller town we have no electronic suppliers to speak of, so I'm looking online, even then I'm not really finding it easy to order just three of them.

If anyone could help me find somewhere to buy them or suggest a replacement I would be very grateful. I see a lot of 2CL77 online for sale, would this be a viable replacement?

Sir Raygers, . . . .

IThe 2CL77 is being twice the diode that the old one was . . .plus I additionally like the supplemental isolative case / housings length.
The whole unts circuitry design should already have a very high resistor / or string at the HV output.
You just need to check the unit for electrostatically induced lint and fuzz build up . . .TIMELY.

Thank you, that was just what I was looking for. I see what you mean about lint and fuzz, I noticed that where the arcing occurred there was a build up of dust.

Thanks again
Ray

Seeing as your in Canada (as I am), I could supply you with some 22KV, 2mA Diodes for FREE.
I use these in My electrostatic Filter.

Dust?
Time to CLEAN it Out.

Thank you, that's very kind of you. There are three diodes in that particular area, I was going to replace all three.

So I'll send you 3 or even a Dozen of them.
Just Email me your Name and address and tell me what you want.

Please Put "HV DIODES" in the Subject Line.

I'd like to give a big shout out to Chemelec for sending me a package of diodes. I replaced all three and am back up and running.

Thank you!
