ladybug Posted December 30, 2002 Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 on my zener diode is written : "1N_47_33A_821" does this mean its a 8.2v ??on my other zener diode is written : "1N_47_38A_604" what does it mean ??this is crucial because ALL my voltage measures on the JDMprog are oh-so-wrong !!

TK. Posted January 1, 2003 Report Share Posted January 1, 2003 Hi,the 1N4733 (A821) is a 5.1V zenerthe 1N4738 (A604) the 8.2V zener(I used google to find the specs)Take care for the polarity of the diodes!Best Regards, Thorsten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smashtv Posted January 1, 2003 Report Share Posted January 1, 2003 Happy New Year All!The 1N4733 is 5.1v, and the 1N4738 is 8.2v.The extra numbers at the end (821, 604) could be batch numbers, date codes, internal manufacturers ID's, etc.There is a pdf datasheet that shows the relationship between the part number and the voltage for all 1 watt zeners here:http://www.glencoe.com/ps/bsee/pdf/1N4733.pdfSince this is my first post I need to say thanks to Thorsten for making such a cool project public, the community of builders here is such a rare find on the internet wasteland these days. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladybug Posted January 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!are those good for the JDMprog ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smashtv Posted January 2, 2003 Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 are those good for the JDMprog ??Yes!I used a 1N4733 and a 1N4738 in my JDM programmer, and I have a working core module using PICs written on it.Also don't worry about the "A" on the end of the part number, a 1N4733 and a 1N4733A interchange in this design. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
