US Amps B-52

Anyone have any pics of the circuit board ?

Or know what diode goes here and what this jumper is for ?

 

[Perry Babin]

Is that diode connected between the primary center tap and the primary ground?

 

[caraudioguy2100]

It connects between primary ground and center tap also connects to rca shield ground

It looks like it's a simple RP diode. It was likely a 6 amp diode.

I don't know what the jumper is.

 

[caraudioguy2100]

Would you happen to know a good part number for the diode ?

 

[Perry Babin]

It's not a critical part if it's the RP diode. Do you have any large diodes?

 

[caraudioguy2100]

Yes I have tons of large diodes .

I have a lot with the markings 6A

Also the diode that came out of the board location looks like the BYV20-150 found in fosgate amps .

Here is a pic of the original diode but to badly damaged to see a part number

BYV27 or BYV28? If you have the BYV28, it would work but I'd use a larger diode. All it needs to do is to conduct between B+ and ground if the amp is connected with reverse polarity. Neither the BYV or a 6A diode is likely to survive. They tend to be more, an indicator that the amp was incorrectly connected, than anything else.
