Title: Superjudge Z1 Diode
Post by: AntKnee on April 26, 2017, 10:29:25 PM
Finally getting to some pcbs I've had for a looong time. Working on a Superjudge now...
Sheet calls for a 1N4739 (9.1V 1 watt), but I don't have one. I do have a 9.1v 0.5 watt, will that work, or is it necessary to have a 1 watt diode?

Most likely yes. I'd be quite surprised if it even got to a quarter watt of power going through it.

I had the same thought, but a second opinion is welcome.
Thanks!
