      That depends on what you're feeding through the diode (how much current it has
      to carry), and your tolerance for installation hassle.  Generally speaking, you
      want something in a physically robust package that has leads that won't flex/bend
      easily.  For low to medium current applications, look for packages like
      DO-201, R-6 or P-600.  For higher current applications or for ease of installation,
      you can use one diode in a bridge rectifier package.
      
      Examples:
      
      3A diode: https://www.digikey.com/short/j9j2r3cf
      
      10A diode: https://www.digikey.com/short/mvh87bdn
      
      20A diode: https://www.digikey.com/short/v59dmvmf
      
      Bridge Rectifiers: https://www.digikey.com/short/fqb5t704
      
      The first three can be crimped in-line with the supply wire for the appliance that
      you're feeding, then covered with heat shrink.  A bridge rectifier would be
      bolted to a surface (preferably metal, for heat dissipation) and connected with
      0.25" PIDG quick-connect terminals.
      
      Pay attention to polarity.  The supply connects to the diode's anode and the consumer
      connects to its cathode (on the first three, the cathode is marked with
      a white stripe).  For the bridge rectifier, connect the supply to either AC terminal
      (marked ~) and the consumer to the positive terminal (marked +).
