? About D9E (maybe all Russian) diodes.

Sorry, more questions.

Am I crazy or is the band on these backwards to the way we do it?

I'll post pics but the forum software doesn't like my file type.

Thx,

Glad I made a habit of checking everything with the multi meter before I put it on the board.

They're usually used as clipping diodes, in which case you have a pair in parallel, facing opposite ways, so it isn't an issue, most of the time, unless you have asymmetric clipping, or they aren't being used as clipping diodes.
