  • Selenium rectifier replacement question | Audiokarma …

    Well-Known Member. Dec 12, 2016. #9. Use a 6A (or more) rectifier bridge bolted to the chassis near the power transformer. (or use the original selenium mounting hole and screw) Connect the two yellow transformer wires to the (AC) inputs of the bridge. Connect the (+) bridge output to the filter capacitor (brown wire).

  • BY RICH BONKOWSKI, W3HWJ …

    ment. Two small selenium "stacks" could easily replace a type 80 or 5Y3 vacuum tube rectifier in many circuits. Since each plate of the selenium stack could support about 30 volts, you will typ-ically find 5 or 6 plates in a 120 Vrms rectifier. Tube rectifiers need filament power to ther-mally stimulate electron flow. The 5Y3, for exam-

    The negative end of the selenium rectifier goes to the 47 ohm resistor, then to chassis ground. It doesn't matter which end of the power transformer red leads go, or whether the rectifier ... You can therefore replace the selenium with a 1N4007 silicon rectifier and the the 47 ohm resistor with a 100 Ohm 3 watt metal film resistor at either or ...

  • Selenium Rectifier

    selenium rectifiers also have a greater voltage drop vs silicon. Typical silicon diode for up to 1000v is 0.6 volts. Each slice of selenium is good for about 20 volts reverse and loses about 1 volt forward. To get high voltages they simply stack up the slices, which of course stacks up the forward voltage loss.

  • Replacing Selenium Rectifiers in Zenith Trans-Oceanics

    Here's a step-by step guide on how to replace the selenium rectifier in your Trans-Oceanic. 1. Unsolder the wire from the bottom lug of the selenium rectifier. 2. Unsolder the 130 ohm sand resistor from the top lug of the selenium rectifier. 3. Solder the wire to the top lug of the selenium rectifier. 4.

  • Replacing selenium rectifier with diode

    A 600 Volt 8 amp dual diode (probably in a TO220 case) would be practically bullet proof for a replacement of a selenium rated at around 1 Amp. You WILL need either 1 or 2 resistors to 'bulk out' the inherent 'loss' exhibited by the selenium type and this (these) can get pretty warm so a wirewound part possibly bolted to the chassis could be ...

  • Selenium diode to Silicon diode

    I wanted to replace the selenium rectifier. I took some voltage readings off the Selenium Rectifier ( 1/2 wave, not full wave) while it was still in the circuit. The positive connection from the selenium rectifier is connected to one side of the 125 V power transformer output and the negative side of the rectifier is connected to a voltage ...

    Post by jukeboxmarty onJun 19, 2023 at 8:50am. I rarely replace selenium rectifiers unless they show signs of failure. Replacing with a silicone rectifier is an acceptable option, and yes, adding an inline fuse to the AC side is a good idea. When a silicon rectifier fails it tends to short, so you want to protect your transformers.

    JohnLillig. Usually a selenium rectifier drops a volt or 1.5 or so per plate, or 5 to 10 volts usually in a stacked rectifier. On tubes, sometimes the extra bias voltage is not a bad thing, but yeah you would need to use Ohm's Law and figure out the specs of the resistor to use for correct or spec voltage.

  • Dynaco PAS 3 selenium rectifier replacement. | diyAudio

    After the wiring is corrected you can try measuring the output DC voltages. The filaments of the tubes on each board are in series, so if the tubes are removed, you will have to measure between the ends of each twisted pair where they are. soldered to the board. The DC voltage between the ends should be around 24VDC.

    The two diodes in the schematic are the selenium rectifier! Just connect your replacements the same way as in the schematic. Yes, but if you're not familiar with selenium rectifiers, the connections can be a mystery. I can certainly read the schematic but I would have needed the same help figuring out the selenium connections.

    There are some good threads on how to replace a selenium rectifier to silicon bridge rectifier, with four snubbing capacitors, and a dropping resistor (possibly with a capacitor instead).

    Armed with a 1n4004 and a suitable high voltage electrolytic capacitor, I proceeded to replace both the selenium rectifier and the filter cap that followed it (on principle — the existing cap was cosmetically in OK condition, but old electrolytics often don't work well, and sometimes fail catastrophically) to bring the 88 V B+ line and -40 V bias voltage back into …
