Bloody Mouser!...

I can\'t get any sense out of Mouser\'s website. You\'d have thought
finding a diode would be simple enough; the spec ain\'t that hard to
meet: 600V 3A fast recovery diode with through-hole cylindrical
encapsulation. Can I find one on their site? Nope! Seems they don\'t
stock them any more.
The original part number was SR3523 but no data available on the net!
Anyone got any old diode data books to hand?

Got a whole sheet of them. Just use the filters.

None of those are fast recovery types, though. And on my browser at
any rate, the filters keep clearing by themselves.

That\'s strange for Agent. I think there is a setting to make filters
global with no timeout.

Nothing to do with Agent. I\'m trying to find the part I want on
Mouser\'s website with Firefox or Opera - and failing badly.

I just looked at your message headers and saw your Agent browser. I
should be more careful.

Well done, Paul! Many thanks for that.

There\'s nothing in the description given which indicates this is a
fast recovery type and Mouser do generally state that if it\'s
applicable.

You need to check the datasheet to find that info.

Well, quite. There doesn\'t seem to be any consistency in the details
listed by Mouser in the \'description\' column. They *usually* state if
a diode has a fast recovery time in that column - but not in the case
of this particular diode for some reason. :-/

UF, hmmmmmmm... could that mean \"ultra fast\"?????

Could have but might not have. The original part had an SR prefix. Use
your powers of divination to work out what that means, since you\'re so
gifted.

SR, back in the day (remember, the OEM number is obsolete) = Silicon Rectifier. Back in the day, that meant something.

As in: 1N4007 is a standard silicon rectifier at 1A at 1,000 volts.
Whereas an UF4007 is a fast-recovery silicon rectifier at 1A at 1,000 volts.

Make an effort. \"Poor me\" just does not cut it.

Make an effort? The page you linked to had 90 devices listed and I
would have had to read through up to 90 datasheets to find the right
one out of that lot. So yes, that certainly *would* have required an
effort!
Paul gave a precise and succinct answer to the question which saved me
a lot of time. If that\'s \"spoon-feeding\" then I\'d like to see a lot
more of it on Usenet.

Correct.
The legacy purpose for usenet is for folks to help one another.

You\'ll receive no help frpm Peter Wieck ... just crude, snide comments.

I hear you, but that\'s why you need to try different approaches.
I found that diode by the following argument in the Mouser
search box: diode 600V 3A fast through hole
That brought me to a page that showed 47 diodes - scrolling
down it was the third diode pictured. There are a lot more
shown that would meet your needs. Learning different approaches
to searching the supplier\'s sites is often helpful. That
does not deny the fact that it can be a pain in the butt.

I think you\'re 100% correct. Being in the UK, Mouser is my supplier of
last resort as it\'s far more expensive than European sources.
Consequently, I rarely visit the site and never get enough familiarity
to find my way around its various little quirks.
