HV Diodes

[mscoffman]

can u find diodes 35KV (surprized now)

or are this "cascades"

Pese

These are single units, but I am sure they are cascaded internally.
Just saw a reference to a microwave oven rectifier at 12KV.
These should have even better current specs then the CRT TV
diode types. Microwave Oven power output is around 500Watts. So
DC input to magnetron tube is probably 1500Watts. By the way, you
can always increase one specification at the expense of others by
serial or parrallel conections. If manufacturing volume is high there
will be a single integrated low cost unit available.

you could allways try a few of these in series:
