that is can i substitute a single phase bridge rectifier BL08 in
place of a BL02 .....

where BL08 is 800v RRM / 560v RMS
and BL02 is 200v RRM / 140v RMS

thanks for any help,
robb

Thanks Graham,
upon revisit i suppose my question was incomplete though and i
should have been more clear like...
can i substitute BL08 in BL02 place without
detriment/degradation/function /risk

and is there any functional/operation reason one might *avoid*
sub-ing to the higher V rated BL08 ?
being an amateur i do not understand the possible impact to the
existing circuit or how the design decisiona are made beyond
meeting minimum requirements and cost ?

thanks again for help ,

At 50 /60 Hz or DC, there will be little or no risk in this
substitution, providing the parts are from the same series or mfr.

Almost certainly yes.
As long as the part is physically compatible of course.

Dave.
