diode help

[banjomaniac]

I'm attemting to repair a 4 in 1 rc helicopter controller and need to know if I can find a suitable replacement for a diode that smoked, it is available at Digikey part #SS24-E3/51TGI a 2 AMP 40V SMB. It doesn't have to be surface mount as I can solder a regular diode in it's place, I'm just wondering IF there is a replacement I might find to use, I don't think radio shack carries anything anymore other than resistors.

Thanks, banjomaniac

hi,
This should be equivalent.

Do you know what 'Smoked' the diode in the first place?

If you don't and the fault hasn't been rectified, whatever the cause was will probably give a similar result....
