Coilers,
 The local surplus place has a stack of HV diodes labeled as such:

VARO
H386C-12
48S137114

My usual sources don't reference this number.  Can anyone out there help 
me?  

The thing is about the size of a cigarette with metal bands on the ends, 
kind of like a fuse.  If it were a resistor I'd say it'd be good for 
10W.  They claim this is a 20KV diode - but I'm more curious what sort 
of current it'd pass.  I don't know the forwards voltage drop yet.

Thanks!
