how to get 200v 100mA or 1A rectifier bridge using 1n400x?
how to get 200v 100mA or 1A rectifier bridge using 1n400x? help. this is for my solid state amp without using diode bridge. here is the schematic http://www.redcircuits.com/Page158.htm

With the link I really don't get the question. What is it exactly that you want to do?

i cant find a 200v 100ma package rectifier bridge. its look like this
how can i replace it with 1n400x diode? can i use 4 1n4003?
No, 1N4003 are rated for 140V of reverse voltage. You should go with 1N4004 at least. I would use anything between 1N4005, 1N4006, 1N4007. If there is no difference in price, I would go with 1N4007.
If you also don't mind getting them or paying a bit more cents for them, go with UF4004-UF4007.

Ah! Now I get it
The transformer required is a 2*25 volts. That means a 1N4001 will do. Therefore one can wonder why a 200v rectifier is in the parts list in the first place. Personally I'd opt for a 1N5400 type diode. Plenty of reserve in case of current peaks.

Oops, I didn't notice the schematic.
Yes, so much reverse voltage isn't necessary. Dirk is spot on about going on the 54XX series. You can again buy a UF5402 as a better replacement if you don't mind the extra cents.
By the way, I have a 1N5400 at hand and various 1N400X ones. The 1N400X are the usual size we all know, but that 1N5400 - it is big like a mouse!

thank you for your help cheers
