[Amps] DIODE PIV Confusion

[Steve Katz]

That would violate industry standards like crazy.  Can't have a common
P/N with different ratings.

The 6A01 is the 100V version of a 6A10 (which is 1000V).

I remember reading (on amps?) awhile back that there is in fact two
different 6A10 diodes. On in 100 volts and the other is 1000 volts. I
seem
to remember that the 100 volt one was in Europe ?
