Hey! I finally got my ass in gear and made some diode labels.
Writing on bags or tape works fine of course, but I wanted something a little cleaner so I made some transistor cards and stickers last year. I'll probably revise those at some point, but I still have some of the original ones and they do the trick. I'd change the pinout diagrams, add an NPN/PNP "circle one" etc... For now, the prints from the first run have come in very handy for me (and hopefully some of you I've sent them to!).
The Diode label has:
- Diode Name
- Type "Circle One" - Si/Ge/LED/Schottky/Zener
- Forward Voltage
- Leakage
- Color (mostly for LEDs)
- diagram to draw in bands to indicate anode or cathode. Get those colored pencils ready!
It's busier than the transistor label, but seems like all of this made sense to include. I screened them on coverstock and sticker paper, which I score by hand - works well enough, just peel em carefully.
Let me know if you'd like some! I'll of course send ya some either way but I'd LOVE to trade, as I'm a teaching artist with some pretty major gaps in my stock and very limited funds to fill said gaps! I'm really looking forward to working with Ge transistors more, but I still have a pretty pitiful amount. Some of what I did have were simply too noisy, so if you happen to be flush with decent NPN/PNP Ge you'd be my hero.
I have a limited amount of the new Diode labels (cards and stickers), as well as the previous transistor labels. Happy to send some of each, or whichever you'd prefer. This community has been very good to me, and hopefully this is helpful to some of you. Shoot me a line, would love to send a bunch of these out next week!
