Title: Bridge Rectifier Equivalent Post by: sudsy7 on June 25, 2013, 10:42:35 PM Looking for the BR1 bridge rectifier for an E-series power supply board. Manual says E-602-3 or V1248 - no hits on a google search - anyone know a modern day equivalent with the same footprint that will work?

Title: Re: Bridge Rectifier Equivalent Post by: sudsy7 on June 25, 2013, 11:13:11 PM Unfortunately I don't have a pic, the board is still in the machine and the BR is covered by a heat sink. I can see the C1 cap is bulging, so I was going to replace it, as well as the C2 cap, Q1 voltage regulator, and BR1 rectifier while I was at it. Found everything online except the BR.

Title: Re: Bridge Rectifier Equivalent Post by: sudsy7 on June 26, 2013, 12:26:18 AM No, but I figure it's worth replacing it while I have board out of the machine anyway. It's 30 something years old and should only cost a few dollars to replace.
Title: Re: Bridge Rectifier Equivalent Post by: cowboygames on June 26, 2013, 12:42:58 AM OK, just wondering as they're easy to check with a meter and they don't get weak with time, they're either good or bad

My manual is a little too fuzzy to read that small print.
Title: Re: Bridge Rectifier Equivalent Post by: FOXSSLOTS1 on June 26, 2013, 08:09:14 AM NTE53000 is a substitute.
Title: Re: Bridge Rectifier Equivalent Post by: proten on June 26, 2013, 12:47:18 PM My manual is fuzzy too but I print out
the page and the printer makes it clearer. Title: Re: Bridge Rectifier Equivalent Post by: sudsy7 on June 26, 2013, 08:41:47 PM Hey, the NTE is only 2 bucks! Thank you all for your help!

Title: Re: Bridge Rectifier Equivalent Post by: dhellis on July 01, 2013, 10:04:43 PM Looking for the BR1 bridge rectifier for an E-series power supply board. Manual says E-602-3 or V1248 - no hits on a google search - anyone know a modern day equivalent with the same footprint that will work? The BR1 is rated at 400V 8 amps (I think) You don't really need anything with this much voltage other than because that is what is there. Check Radio Shacks website and do a search for bridge rectifier. The other problem is knowing the dimensions, these are about 0.6 inches square. You can use something a bit bigger if you take care to insert slowly and then use the screw with heat sink to make it flush with the board. There is a fairly good write up on repairing these boards at http://www.coinslots.com/product/repairs/repair-tips/ |
