I just mapped out the measurements to see what, if any, sort of a pattern might become apparent. The measurements marked with an asterisk are a copy of the value taken with the test leads reversed - ie. The value against 1 - 2* is a copy of the reading 2 - 1. Likewise the value against 2 - 1* is a copy of the reading 1 - 2. There certainly seems to be some symmetry across all measurement types - with the exception of the capacitance where there are two anomalies (green background). The first could be a documentation error nF/uF ? The second is the departure from the symmetry exhibited in the other measurement types. What does this mean? I can't say I have any idea, but I would be inclined to start trying some active circuit measurements. |

Have you tried to apply a (modest) voltage to a pair of pins and measure the voltages on the other two (and then repeat with another pair) ? |

One suggestion though: Use a current limiting series resistor when applying voltage. |

There is another thread in 'Projects, Designs, and Technical Stuff' that might shed some light on what a possible problem here might be. Check 'SO.... What Capacitance are your Resistors...?' |

All components will exhibit ah inherent resistance ,capacitance and inductance.Even rectifiers and capacitors.Also it will be difficult to clearly understand the measurements because its a closed circuit of 4 diodes.Meaning you get conflicting results because the measurement is taken from both directions of the circuit.Looking at the component I would have to agree with Benta that this is likely a rectifier.Likely a 600v 4amp.The 14 and 3.5 numbers looks like lot numbers with the date code below as someone else described .You can use a low voltage AC signal of no more than 6 volts to the 2 center pins and read the outer pins for a DC voltage . If it is a capacitor array then you should be able to read a slow voltage discharge from any two pins with a resistor in parallel and a DMM. |
