Substatute for 1N5232 Diode Building A Valhalla

[copperhead]

Just looking for a sub for this 1N5232 in this Valhalla build & hoping i have something in my stash . any help would be gladly appreciated .Thanks

1N5232 is a 5.6V zener. Equivalents are:
1N752
1N4734
Happy hunting.

I wonder if 1N4734 will be a sub .

I wonder if 1N4734 will be a sub .

that's what Tayda carries as a 5.6 Zener .....

So it`s a substatute for the 1N5232 ? Both are 5.6v , differences are . the 1N5232 are 500mv & the IN4734 are 1watt .

that I'm not sure ..... I'm not electrically savvy enough to make that call ...

If 500mv or 1v is just the load rating of the diode or how much current it can handle it's not really important for this application . so we may be good . but please chime in if you know for sure .

1N4734 is a viable sub. I mis-typed my earlier post (now corrected). The wattage rating doesn't matter in this circuit, as long as the part fits on the board. These will.

Thank you Sir .

Awesome! Just helped me when I realized I didn’t have a 1n5232, but plenty 1n4734a’s!

1N5234's are 500 milliWATT and 1n4734's are 1 WATT, not volt, and those values represent the maximum dissipation aka how much they can handle.
