Neutrino diodes

[MattL]

Hi, I'm a bit confused about this:

"D1 is TWO 1n4148's in series, as is D3. This was done to eliminate having to
use a jumper if you want asymmetrical clipping. Feel free to experiment with
different diodes, or use a switch to set up external clipping options."

Does this mean I'm supposed to tee pee two diodes in series at the same connecting point? And what (if you can pardon a newbie question) constitutes series? does the wire from one connect to the wire of another, with the remaining wires going to the holes in the PCB? And do the striped sides face in the same direction? Thanks, any help would be appreciated. I don't really see that it would be otherwise, since there are only spots for diodes 1,3, and 5. Thanks!

Correct. "Series" just means two in a row, like if you were to put two resistors in series to add up to a larger value.

If building the default diode configuration, you will twist the lead together, put a little solder on them, then solder the two free leads to the two open pads. Both diodes will face the same way. Then do the same for the next two diodes. Just think of each set as one diode, with the bands pointing in the directions indicated on the layout.

Thanks a lot!
