Diode Assortment

In the absence of nearby local hobby stores like Radio Shack, it's difficult to get just the right parts. Thus, buying an assortment for the bits and bobs box is required. Sure, some of these I'll never use, but waiting two or more days for the specific one needed in a project is no good, either. These diodes work as expected, are reasonably priced, and come in a nice organizer. The organizer was the deciding factor for me. After spending too much time sorting a box of unlabeled resistors given to me by an Elmer dispersing his junk box , I never wanted to find myself in that situation again. So, the well-organized, labeled assortment was quite attractive.

Good price with nice diode organizer. Will shop with eeeee_shop again.

At this point, I am pretty sure I have ordered every item from this store. The storage and size alone is worth the price.

Like many others, I bought this kit because of the containers. I already had another kit of electronic components, but I decided to buy this one to make it easier to organize diodes. The kit is organized in a way that makes finding specific components easy. The box arrived in perfect shape and all the diodes were in their corresponding compartments (some reviewers complain about this, but all the kits I have bought from EEEEE have arrived in perfect shape for me). The diodes themselves look OK although I don’t have an easy way to test their characteristics other than their voltage drop, which seems to be according to specifications from known fabricators. This kit does not include data sheets, which is typical for these cheap assortments. One con: The 1N4184 rectifiers were instead labeled as ST4184, which seems to be an equivalent model but I wasn’t able to find specs online. This may or may not be an issue. I’m removing one star for the misleading product documentation, although probably the model they included is OK, I was not able to find information about it online. The kit includes the most common types of diodes: rectifiers, switching (only one type), fast recovery, Schottky and two values for Zeners. I use them mainly for learning electronics and building some simple circuits. For experimentation, learning and fixing non expensive devices, these diodes are perfect, and the containers make all the difference.

As advertised!

Good Assortment. No problems.

The most popular diodes you'll need. 1N4001 50V 1A, 1N4004 400V 1A, 1N4007 1000V 1A.

The diodes are marked well and easy accessible.

Bueno

Well, I guess this is going to be a one-way relationship...

Tres satisfait merci

Good mix of components for most projects
