I have been looking for a simple diode array that would be the equivalent of, say, (8) 1N914 switching diodes in a 16 pin package. Through hole or surface mount, and under a buck. I have found a couple that were in the $7.00US range and some crazy military spec things that were in the $70US range, but that's it. This can't be that strange of an item. Is it my Googling skills or is it just not being manufactured?
