Substitute for 1N4751ADICT-ND

Post by ntstlgl1970 »

I managed to break one of the diodes, of course they don't carry them at the local radio shack. Is there another diode that would work in its place? If not I can make a trip to the electronics store, but it is a ways away from where I live....

ntstlgl1970,

The 1N4751 is a 1 Watt 30 Volt Zener diode in a D0-41 package. It is used to shunt flyback spikes to ground. Any 1+ Watt Zener diode with a 22 to 36 Volt rating (1N4748 to 1N4753) should work.
