| Please help identify this SOT23 diode? |

Hi, We have an offline LED lighting product from an old company. It had been running on the mains for two years. It has a high voltage linear regulator just downstream of a mains diode bridge (there is no smoothing capacitor after the diode bridge) . The regulator output is 2.5V. It just supplies a microcontroller. Connected from output to input of this regulator, is a SOT23 diode. This diode obviously stands off the rectified mains haversines (339Vpk). An ex member of staff assures us that this diode is a BAS16……but BAS16 is only rated to 100V. The diode itself is still functional, and is pinned out like a BAS16. But surely such a low voltage diode wouldn’t have been able to survive going across the mains? The diode has markings on it…….”kJB” ( or it might actually be “kJ8”)…and then perpendicular to this, it is marked “CN”. Does anyone know what actual diode this might be?

Consider instead NXP TL431BQDBZR, SMD marking code "CJ%" |

Sorry, Ive a massive apology to make....it is marked "KJ8" (or "KJB") and not "CJ8" ...I was in the dept till late last night and had to leave before id got a good look. Im pretty sure no SOT23 diode in the world is rated for mains voltage? Aaah...solved it, its a 400v rated MMBD5004S, and it was made in Nov 2015 |

Try Googling "KJB" and "SOT23"? The very first hit gives MMBD5004, which is a 400V reverse breakdown part, the second hit gives the datasheet. HTH |
