I'm building up stock of my diodes, and I've come across a big series of Russian detector diodes like D2V. Will these work for clipping? I know plenty of other diodes like 1n34a are used AS detectors, but these are all designated specifically as detectors.

Edit: Never mind, they'll work. Clipping is about .5v
