Special K D9K diode question

[PAGOON]

the special K calls for D9K diodes.. D9K diodes have the Stripe or stripes on the anode positive side…here’s is the question is the print on the pcb accurate to the D9k diode or is accurate to most other no Russian diodes? I have installed them both ways But I just wanted to know for sure what way they are to go. Thanks

Cathode/K are almost always the square pad on PPCB boards, so I would imagine that's the case here as well.

They're asymmetric clipping diodes so it doesn't really matter too much in this case; if you put them in backwards all that would happen is you'd swap which side of the signal is being clipped more.

The board will be the "correct" way of labeling diodes. So D9s will need to go looking like they're backwards.
