Title: D9E about face!
Post by: Ekimneets on September 04, 2018, 10:36:55 PM
? 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.

Yep, the band is on the opposite side.

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.
