Hi.
I have been enjoying reading this forum for a while now, and am looking forward to build some of the projects on this site.
I'm on the brink of finishing the Pork Barrel, only to find that I have forgotten to order the required 8.2v zener diode (yup, I'm using the MN3207). Will a 9.1v zener diode work as a substitute, or will it result in a fried IC?
Thanks.
Just leave it out until you can put one in, unless there's any chance of the power supply/battery putting out more than 10V in which case yes the 9.1V would be a good idea.
I have, amongst others, a Boss 9v adaptor, so I guess it will be fine for now. Will pop the zener in when I get one. Thanks!
