1N4007 diodes are like 5 cents each in single
quantities from Mouser and like 2.1 cents each in 100
quantities.  I buy them 100 at a time and then use
them for anything that requires a power diode less
than 1 amp and less than 1000 volts PIV.  Much simpler
than trying to keep up with the various PIV ratings of
other diodes.

All of this hellablu over a 50 cent diode is simply
mined boggleing.  Any silicon diode with a 400 volt
PIV should work fine.
