That is a 35 amp rectifier handling only 7 amps. I doubt it even gets warm.

Quoted from Tomass:No clue. Sorry
Don't be sorry for not knowing, that is was why you were asking if you should move it off the board! 
I was just offering up some additional information as to why or why not move it off the board.
Quoted from G-P-E:OK - curiosity got me.
KBPC35 series = 1.1V forward voltage drop per diode.
Two diodes always operating simultaneously.
Power = (2)(1.1V)(7A) = 15.4W
Defined thermal resistance = 1.4C/W
Temperature rise = (15.4W)(1.4C/W) = 21.56C temp rise. (rounded to 21.6)
Ambient = 25C typical so operating temp will be about (25 + 21.6) = 46.6C or 115F. Yeah, it will see a temperature rise but far from being too hot.
Thanks Ed! Know we REALLY know!
