reviving this thread.
Can anyone make me a PCB file for a SMD diode array?
basically a long PCB strip of 100 1Kv 3A diode stacked side by side and maybe a wire wound resistor at one end as a current limiter when the caps discharge. Also a M4 or similar through hole for the mounting terminals. The diodes can be virtually stacked together as flash over won't be a prob as I will set the PCBs in resin .
diodes are these.

I'm thinning of using a massive stack of MOTs in series and a big choke as the AC power supply. You can buy brand new MOTs for like 20-25 bucks each so a stack of 15 or more will do nicely.
