Replacment bridge rectifier

[Snapper]

Hi all, could anyone suggest suitable replacement for a BR102 bridge
rectifier? Needs to be 10A at least and handle 200v. In case anyone is
wondering, it came out of a Marshall guitar amp. Seems it melted the solder
joints and itself, perhaps not a high enough rating?

Any advice appreciated,

Simon

You want to get one with a high LZR (Led Zepplin Rating)

But seriously folks... look here

looks to be still available.

Ok, thanks. Looks good enough, but where the hell can I get one in the UK?
Maplin and RS don't have them.

I'm stumped.

Cheers

No, it'll be a downstream short - electrolytic caps or o/p
transistors. Any general purpose bridge rectifier will do if rated at
or above original specs. Check RSComp, Farnell, Maplin etc.

Ah! Thanks. Will check Maplin and others and find some data on their
products. Cheers!

Look for damage to the electrolytic capacitors that it (presumably) feeds
into.
