Obsolete Flat Based Diodes

Westcode stopped manufacturing their SWxxHHN, SWxxHHR, SWxxKBN and SWxxKBR flat based diodes several years ago. GD Rectifiers offers modern day direct replacements which can be supplied with step location washers for lead termination. GD Rectifiers part numbers are: W0508SBxxx, W0508RBxxx, W0438SDxxx, W0438RDxxx, W0503SDxxx, W0503RDxxx, W0628SBxxx, W0628RBxxx, W1411LCxxx, W1524LCxxx, W1748LCxxx and W2058LCxxx.

High Voltage Rectifiers

GD Rectifiers offer popular modern day replacements for obsolete high voltage rectifiers and encapsulated rectifiers which used to be manufactured by Marconi, IXYS and Semikron.

UGE – replaces IXYS’ high voltage rectifiers

HTZ – replaces Marconi and IXYS’ high voltage rectifiers

HSKE range – replaces Semikron’s high voltage rectifiers

Thyristors

Westcode no longer manufacture part numbers N260KHx, N330KHx, N350MHx and N370MHx. GD Rectifiers offer Westcode thyristors with cables, part numbers: N0646LCxxx, N0910LSxxx, N1114LSxxx and N1114LSxxx as direct replacements for Westcode’s obsolete thyristors.

Fast Turn-off Thyristors

GD Rectifiers offers obsolete replacement parts for Westcode’s P300KHx and P350KHx which can now be ordered as P1007LS12D.

GD Rectifiers works closely with customers to ensure component availability of popular obsolete devices that are no longer on the market because of OEM obsolescence.
