Title: Diode question. difference between 1n34 and 1n34A ?
Post by: BDuguay on May 25, 2004, 09:56:05 AM
Is there a difference between these 2 diodes. The 1n34A is needed in the Fuzz Central version of the Dallas Rangemaster that I'm planning to build.

has the data sheets for both of these, seems to be no significant difference that I can see in a quick look.

different package, and some current ratings are different, but probably nothing that would affect its use in a pedal.

For the RangeBlaster you can use just about any Germanium diode...1N100, 1N270, 1N34, 1N34A, etc.  Just as long as it's Ge. it should work fine :)  1N34A is one of the more common values, so I listed that one on the schematic.
