Elettronic cut-out relay: diode replacement

#1

Post by gosilver »

Goog morning,
I would like to replace te central diode of my cut-out relay. The identification number can't be readed.
The C.O. relay is this one:

I wonder if any of you have ever done this kind of substitution , and possibly if can give me the number of the component (in mine the number is abraded) or the correct kind of diode . Sorry to spend tens of euro , when I can replace a diode that cost a few cents .
Thanks a lot.

Gosilver---I would PM AWANDER or he just might log-on///He has sucessfully rebuilt his & can give you all the variables.(what good/& not good)-Also in Europe There is one made that I think is a BOYER BRANDSON ?/ring ant bells?--A couple guys are using these with great resusts.on both 6 & 12-V systems.---Respectfully---Richie

Thank you Richie (as usual!).
I think it will be good if this information become public. Other people can use to replace their cut out relay.
Is a five minutes job....if you have the right hardware.
(if AWANDER will allows it)
I forgot to say I run with a 6v 32E generator 3 brushes

A quick Note : When you find the correct diode and un solder the old one out......trim the leads to the right size on the new one and use a heat sink on EACH LEG Of The Diode when you solder it back in oh observe polarity too......a small pair of hemo stats works great...when you find the numbers of the needed diode......i'd love to know that too.......Thanks RIDE AWARE !
