Topic summary

The discussion addresses identifying specifications and replacement values for unknown burnt diodes following capacitor failure in a power supply circuit. The diodes lack visible markings, showing only a stripe and dots, complicating identification. The capacitors involved are rated 10V 330µF. It is suggested to remove the diodes for close inspection of any markings. The circuit appears to be a switching power supply, implying the diodes may be high-speed switching or fast recovery types, possibly Schottky diodes. Recommended replacement diodes should have voltage ratings at least three to four times the capacitor voltage, with current ratings between 1 to 3 amps. If the diode function is unknown, a generic rectifier diode like the 1N4004 may be tried, though size and speed characteristics may differ. The diodes are likely part of a 12V relay power circuit.
