I asked in my BZ thread but the question was buried and never got answered.
My Atari Power Transformer brick has a 3502 200v 35a bridge rectified. The local electronics parts store said they were out out of stock on the 3502 but that they had cross referenced the number and a 5342 would work but that it's 600v and 40a ... but that it was OK to go UP in voltage just not down. Said it would work without issue.
Does this sound right? Are bridge rectifier like CAPS where you can get higher rated voltage components and be just fine?
