Diodes for trigger switches
« on: February 20, 2013, »
Hello,
I assume that 1N400X diodes would work for 1 to 15 switch isolation on the conductor binary trigger inputs.

I would think they would work,  I would guess the original ones are 1N914 or 1N4148.  Just check if the leads will fit the holes are the rectifiers tend to have larger leads than the switching diodes.

Thanks Mike,
I don't have a trigger board, but I have a proto board that IN400x  fits. Also someware around here I do think I have  1N4148 diodes  to.
