Why don't you just read it???
There's the "1N" now just keep turning it and see who's the winner.

Expect "41"
and    "48".

I removed it and it reads "1N914" (see photo).

Thanks to all for the direction. IRstuff gets the win.  

thanks,
Tom

Is this "the Christmas Challenge?"

Here's another one: I have a little metal can. It looks like a tiny hat. It is 5.1 mm high and the diameter is 4.8 mm. There is a rim at the bottom and there are three wires sticking out from the bottom. There is some marking on it. But difficult to read. All I can see is a "2" there may be either another "2" or a "Z" before that.

I wonder what it can be?

I'd have to go with the venerable 2N2222 in a TO-18 can

Hmm.. Spoilsport.

Too easy, was it?


OK, what date code does it have?

Ok, I'll go with "What is 1297" for $100, Alex...

Actually, those are the only two components I know
