No biggie here. You can pick up any 3 watt diode from Radio Shack. The diode goes across the a/c compressor leads. The purpose of the diode is to control the DC power and only allow it to flow one way. It keeps power from flowing back to the car should the grounds come loose. There is only one correct placement of the diode. One way the clutch will engage, the other nothing. The striped end of the diode goes to ground.
