Title: Aristocrat diode (power; not clipping)
Post by: maysink on August 03, 2010, 10:02:33 PM
Any reason I can't use a standard 1n4001 vs the 1N5817 called for in the BOM? I see Sm. Bear has only 1N5818s... I looked at the datasheets but I know not what I'm looking for. Any got a clue for me? TIA!

Yep, you can use that for sure. The only difference is that the 1N5817 has a lower voltage drop. But, it is most likely negligible.
