The "8650" could be a YYWW date code, and "G1" may in fact be "GI" (General Instruments).

Thanks, Frank. That looks like it. My eyes aren't as good as they used to be, even with a magnifying glass :-(

Strange they don't give the pinouts although it's easy enough to figure out.

I'm guessing it's it's similar to a WO2M. Doesn't hurt to put ina higher voltage rated part such as a WO4M. G1 is probably GI ( General Instruments ) so you could check but I think they've changed their name now.

I didn't know they did a 2A bridge in that style ! Could be useful.
