What diode is this?

[Dasaniman]

Doing some repairs and I can't seem to locate this diode anywhere online. The little booger says on it, "EC2 1332". Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Don't see any cathode band.....I'd be inclined to think it is a small tantalum capacitor especially if it has a + sign on one end.....bit difficult to see any markings really. Perhaps a better pic?

 

[Dasaniman]

Well the bottom says K5U 104M. I have found this part number on eBay, but they are different shape than above. Not sure what this shape is called?

It's a 100nF ceramic axial capacitor.

Sir Dasaniman . . . . . . .

No diodes today . . . . . .instead . . . . .


It's being a common 0.1 ufd ceramic axial leaded capacitor

With a temp stability of :

K5U: a maximum capacitance change of + 10% - 10% over an operating temperature
range of + 10°C to + 85°C

And their cases SURE like to crack at the ends if abused.

Okie great, Thanks for the info. I have 1 final question. This is the right value and all I need on this link:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/121214216752?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

But the one I have here is not as wide, but it is still the same color and all. What is the smaller versions of that called? If I lay mine next to it, they look identical except the one I have/need is not as wide, kinda like a mini version of it?

See if you can afford any of these since. I see no "onesies-twosies" being offered.

PLUS that axial case configuraton that you have encountred is not chiseled in stone.
Letting us make some other choices.
BASICALLY we need to see what this unit came from, and then we can evaluate and see what conditiions dictate the type of unit to be used .

This will need the product, model and numbering and if that is still insufficient . . .a good board photo(s) may suffice.

Yeah I found the exact part on those 104M's. Just wondering on the resistor now. What the smaller ones are called from the link here:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/12121421675...&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&afsrc=1&rmvSB=true

Those will work, but the original one is the same color, same bands etc, but a slightly smaller version (not as wide). Was not sure the name of the less wide ones?

 

[73's de Edd]

The smaller size would not be relevant to any naming, it typically would be related to the wattage rating of the unit. In your case, you will be just fine with that little xtra wattage cushion .

 

[Dasaniman]

So say a 1/4 watt would be a smaller footprint than say a 1/2? Do they go smaller than a 1/4 watt?

 

[davenn]

yes 1/8 W
