I was wondering if it is ok to use a KBPC3504 bridge rectifier on a DE 520-5047-02 poser supply.

Yes.
You can also use the equivalent "wire lead" 35A 400V bridge.
The wire leads are much easier to remove from the board if necessary in the future.

Quoted from ChrisHibler:Yes.

Thats great thanks for letting me know. I will check out the wire lead version now.

I was actually wondering the same thing. Why solder the wires onto the rectifier rather than using a lug connector. I haven't found one that specifically says 'wire lead'. The one I found though does say 'lug leads'. So I am assuming this will work.

He means it's easier to deal with the wire leaded type of bridge instead of the lugs when soldering directly to the board. You don't solder wires onto the bridge.

Sure that makes sense. I must have missed that part he mentioned about the board.
I am referring to the 2 bridge rectifiers off the board screwed into the back cabinet. I wondered, why solder the wires directly to the bridge rectifier and not use a lug connecter? So it can easily be maintained in the future if anything ever goes wrong with either one. Every picture I have seen of a DE backbox has the wires soldered directly to it.

Probably reliability. Connectors add failure points, and they really don't go bad that often. Williams used lugs here. I'd use the lug type as well on the backbox mounted ones because the wire lead bridges are too flexy to support a harness soldered to it in that situation.
Scott cleaned up the questions. Thanks slochar
I use wire lead bridges for all PCBs, even if the OEM used spade type bridges.
For the backbox bridges used on some William games that are screwed to the back of the backbox, I'd use the spade version since the wires to be connected to those bridges have space connectors crimpled to them.
