Exactly, I was trying to get the partnumber for fast recovery units.
The main issue is allow protection for *any* possible FET transistor to be
plugged there.
We never know what will happens in the field.  A bad choice replacement
transistor and puff.
A simple $0.50 diode there will not harm, and can save the day in case of a
bad replacement.

Thank you for calling up the issue.
