I'm repairing a dead philips VR 600, the SB340 diode on one PSU output
gave s/c both directions, I don't have one in my spares box...anyone
know of a suitable equivalent?

datasheet:

I googled "3A 40V shottky barrier" and got several results on the first
page.


It's a very common problem on Philips PSU's. Replacement type is not
critical. Just about anything of similar rating, intended as a smps
secondary reccy, will work perfectly well in my experience.
