Can anyone please recommend a commonly available equivalent to the IS1588 diode? Thanks
well actually from what i can find its the commonly used switching diode in japan.. other wise a commonly used diode like we use here the 1N914 however i can not find an actual physical lay of it so i don't know if its a SMD or not.. in any case, here is a location that just happens to have it in the spare parts like if that helps you any. http://printer-spare-parts.com/partpageW-page21.htm P.S. the number is 1S1588 not IS1588
phil called The Usenet Police (tm) of sci.electronics.basics and said to the cops, at Wed, 11 Feb 2004 14:33:12 GMT: It's 1S1588. It's a japanese switching diode which (I think) can be replaced by 1N4148.
