1.0 The 1N5711 and the 1N5712 are hot carrier diodes.
2.0 The 1N5711 and 1N5712 type diodes are EXTREMELY sensitive to handling and ESD damage. This susceptibility is inherent in the design of these diode types due to the very small semiconductor junction area used to meet the "low" capacitance specification requirement combined with the rigid metallurgical bond utilized in their construction. The only manufacturer of this device type, Compensated Devices Inc., has published application notes related to this sensitivity. Users are strongly urged to review the supplier's application notes prior to selecting and using either of these diode types.
