One thing I don't understand with the SOT-23 versions, is that they have a common cathode, doesn't that prevent you wiring the 2 diodes anti-parallel?

Sometimes one of the diodes is inverted.

EDIT: In the BAV99, in fact. The BAV70 has the configuration you posted above.

Ah that makes more sense. I can see how that would be pretty economical over a large production run.

 

[Feral Feline]

For real? Swear I've seen them on mouser / lcsc for like less than 1c

'Twas a joke, referencing a thread (now deleted?) where the OP basically joined the forum to shill some diodes for 5-buckaroos — at least that's how I remember it*.


*Brain contents may have shifted and settled during packaging and handling, do not pass GO, Yahtzee, this kind of trouble is lots of fun, Poppa-matic.

Ha ha I thought so but wasn't sure. Damn, they must have been some special diodes ha ha.

See this is why you can't make jokes about diodes. A lot of people have been badly scarred by diodes.

 

[Feral Feline]

Especially those who paid $5 for each diode.

 

[HamishR]

Exactly.

Surely you can make a diode with a snubber if you want that soft knee of the older diodes? Worthy of a breadboard experiment or two.

You’re thinking too much like an educated human and not enough like a snake oil salesman.
