that is can i substitute a single phase bridge rectifier BL08 in place of a BL02 .....
where BL08 is 800v RRM / 560v RMS and BL02 is 200v RRM / 140v RMS
thanks for any help, robb
can higher v rated rectifier substitute lower v rated ?

Thanks Graham, upon revisit i suppose my question was incomplete though and i should have been more clear like... can i substitute BL08 in BL02 place without detriment/degradation/function /risk
and is there any functional/operation reason one might *avoid* sub-ing to the higher V rated BL08 ? being an amateur i do not understand the possible impact to the existing circuit or how the design decisiona are made beyond meeting minimum requirements and cost ?
thanks again for help , rob
At 50 /60 Hz or DC, there will be little or no risk in this substitution, providing the parts are from the same series or mfr.

Almost certainly yes. As long as the part is physically compatible of course.
