Any chance of reverse-engineering the bit of the circuit it is used in,

Not very good at this... just a component-test monkey (c:
But it (and its partner) seems to be across a c.t. winding of the SMPS
transformer. Electrolytic filter caps "downstream" from these are rated at
25v.
There are a dozen more of this type of diode in this SMPS, across other
trans. windings.
This is a multiple-voltage ps inside a 240v ac motor controller in a

If it's on the secondary side, it will not be a 'normal' 1A diode. It will
be a high speed Schottky type.
Not necessarily Shottky actually. ( btw - is it *meant* to have a 'c' in it or
not ? )
If you try to use a standard silicon
rectifier diode, it will run very hot and fail, in short order.
Oh I don't know. A subcontractor once fitted a 1N4004 where I'd specified a
UF4004 on a lightly loaded secondary. It ran for many hours before failing !
They did it second time round too ! I reckon that purchasing looked at the part
number and reckoned they could substitute. Lovely stuff working with Asians.
Funny thing was, my colleagues looked glum since it was our first smps design. I
( in my infinite wisdom ! ) smelt a rat and went to it almost straight off. It
was shorted. Just made the thing go into hiccup mode.
