Interesting info, Phil. Apparently, the person who made the
microwave-oven parts claim should have opened one with a hammer Before
making the claim. Have you opened a K2AW potted rectifier unit?
Nevertheless, increasing the thermal-resistance between the rectifier
die and the cooling medium is hardly good engineering practice--which is
undoubtedly the case whenever a string of IN5408s are potted in epoxy.
