Current Regulating Diodes

[Richie]

I seem to be having trouble sourcing the 1N5283 - 1N5314 series of current
regulating diodes. RSAust. has similar, J500 series, but in the wrong
package. Does anyone know where to source these from, other than overseas.

Cheers,

Yep, thats who I've been ordering from for now. But the US$12 is a bit of a
sting when you only want to order 10 or so components for less than $10. Is
there any reason why these aren't available in Australia? I was surprised to
find they weren't available.

** If a component is not in regular demand locally and then it will not be
stocked. TO92 devices are available that do what you want and so can a
j-fet with one resistor - but you are too fussy.

Until the arrival of Farnell and RS in Australia the situation with all
sorts of components was *very* much worse .

I never said I was too fussy, its just that it needed to fit a premade PCB,
and space is quite restricted. I'll probably just use something in a TO92
package, just have to have longer legs on it. Thanks for the help.
