2014 Pilote with Pioneer head unit, some elements of the old unit were not working so bought a new Pioneer AVH240-a240dab, on removing the old unit, the wiring (I presume original Pilote) resembled an untidy birds nest, there is a Pioneer CA-R-FD.001 V3 which is I believe an interface unit to allow the unit to work as the vehicle has no switched ignition signal or permanent live feed from the ISO plug.
There is a purpose made item that uses a pair of diodes the output leg of each diode is linked and the input sides have a permanent live feed one from leisure battery and the other from van battery wire feed, my problem is that a leg of one of the diodes has broken off flush with the body, they are P600J D6, I've tried to find a source but have failed, I can find many P600j but none with the D6 suffix.
Being totally ignorant of electronics can anyone give some advice as to a suitable replacement, I'm OK to make the unit once I have the new diodes.

It is just a 6A diode I think so anything similar will work.

Thank you I found plenty of P600D but none with the D6 suffix and don't have a clue as to what they mean and if for this particular application not having exactly the same to replace it with would cause harm / damage to the vans electrics.
I'll take your advice and go ahead with one you link to.

I can't see a risk, a diode is a diode and only the current rating differs.

The other parameter that's important is the reverse breakdown voltage, but for automotive it's not a problem, anything over about 60V will do - the ones you linked to are 200V, so they are well within the spec.
