Recent NASA Parts Selection List Updates for Small Signal Diodes
 

06/11/02

Updated parts listing table and application note to warn users to avoid use of 1N4148-1 diodes for new designs due to inherent construction weaknesses that make these parts susceptible to thermally induced cracking.  Included reference to NASA GSFC Advisory NA-GSFC-2002-01

Corrected typo for VR for the 1N6642 diode.  Typo inadvertently had listed VR = 754 V instead of the correct value of VR = 75 V.
