Basic Diode Question

Basic Diode Question

Basic Diode Question

(OP)
Hello-

     I'm working on a sample circuit that controls a DC motor and it calls for some 1N514 diodes.  These particular diodes are proving extremely hard to find.  Does anyone know of a comparable substitute?

Regards-
     Eric

RE: Basic Diode Question

Assuming that this is the diode you have specified:

1N514, SI. GI 300V 1A

Just about any diode with the same PRV and current rating, and physical dimensions (small diode) will work.

RE: Basic Diode Question

Digikey is a good bet.
