BOJACK 1N34A Germanium Diode 50 mA 65V Axial 1N34A 50 millimap 65 Volt Electronic Silicon Diodes(Pack of 25 Pieces)

It even replaced the hard to find cat whisker diode detector. There are a few small-sized For Crystal radios, the package includes diodes used for signal transmission. It is not possible to use some substitute silicon diodes for crystal radio projects due to their higher barrier potentials (Silicon diodes read 0 on the meter. For the threshold voltage, 50 volts is sufficient). A 0 is found on the diodes that are sold by this vendor. It has a threshold of 273 volts, shown in the photo, which is more optimal for radio operation with crystals. Thank you for making the right product available.

This is pretty tiny, I have no idea where it came from. It was great to think that! My first thought was to try Amazon since that is where I could find these diodes. All the other things they need are there. I lo & I There they are, and in the very same condition as the one I lost. I have to tell everyone to start their searches at Amazon. It has been so many times that I've searched everywhere else in the world before Amazon for what I needed, and have been blown away when the website carried what Safely packaged and in a beautiful box, these came to me in perfect condition.

A crystal radio would do just fine. However, these diodes are still excellent for crystal radios, even though they are not germanium. When selecting a diode for use in your crystal radio, Vf (forward voltage drop across the diode) is an extremely important parameter. Germanium diodes (1N34A) also have a Vf that is very similar to that of germanium diodes.

The detectors are being used to detect radio frequency signals. I have been trying to figure out what is wrong with a radio I'm building (and I have built many of these radios in the past), and I found out that the "Germanium Diodes" are actually silicon diodes and I m not able to use them. Other than here, I'll have to try to find a source for the real thing.

In spite of the fact that these diodes are not true germanium, they perform just as well - if not better - but don't have reverse leakage, which a true germanium diode would have, and they are also I thought it was okay for me.

To test these diodes, I used a transistor tester LCR TC1. It was a busy day for them all. Around 0 was found to be the most consistent Vf value. The voltage of 38 V is plus or In my first video, I introduce Mr.

Diodes such as the 1n34A are small signal detectors that have been around for a very long time. I remember seeing schematics that used this particular diode back in the 1970s.

Detection of radio waves is possible with germanium diodes. This type of diode has a much lower voltage drop than a silicon diode, so it can be used for crystal radios.
