Diode identification

Apr 15, 2014 4 Replies

Hi! Servicing a SGI Fuel CPU, I found a short circuited diode. The only marking is S4 15. The companion diode, working, has 0.2V of forward voltage, so it could be a fast recovery Schottky switching diode. Could you help with the marking?



Thanks!


Maybe it is a protection zener of 15 volts? (which blew while protecting?)

No, it's a small black axial diode, half lenght of the standard 1N4001...

Sure its S and not 5 ? "included within" on
