identify diode

Apr 05, 2010 2 Replies

Howdy I have a burnt diode in the power amplification section of a stereo amplifier. It as a typical small glass diode with a band for polarity and no other markings. I have one in the other channel and I get a v drop of .60 volts but need to replace the fried one. HELP!



Thanks



Gary


!N914 is pretty much the generic replacement, being a small glass package. However, are you measuring it under amplifier power or just a multimeter ? If the diode is reversed biased and a zener, then the voltage is going to be something different and higher.

I would shoot for a 1N914 diode..
