I should add that I have not had any reports of the non-epoxy cap breaking on the PCBs in the field. Doesn't mean it hasn't happended but I've not heard about it....if it has.

Fascinating.

The diodes DSB10I45PM are hard to get or on long back order from Farnell

I found these
https://uk.farnell.com/stmicroelectroni ... dp/2325859

I know they're duals so I figured I could use 3; the common cathode being used for the positive leg of the bridge and use them as singles for the negative leg. I thought they were close in spec to the originals if I'm looking at the right things; a low Vf fer instance.

These are a small signal schottky like the originals. What is the difference between a small signal schottky and a schottky rectifier?

If these were OK, they have a low Vf and I'm using only 5VAC in for 2.1V out to 4P1L

I use these all the time

Slightly higher Vf, but don't know if 60mv matters.

Thanks Nick. I've gone with these,

Yep, Nick's suggestion should be fine
