Awful Waffle Zener Diode

[Luke]

Can I sub the 8.2v for a 9.1v or any others?

Looks like its for polarity protection in the power supply, I think you can stick a 1N4001 in there.

Would it be better use an 8.2v 500mw Zener or 8.2v 1.3w?

Use the half watt the 1.3w will have thicker leads and be more difficult to stick through the solder pad holes

Many thanks Mcknib. Appreciate your response
