Do a search on eBay for 1N34A or 1N34 should find what you\'re looking for but the substitutes will work also, 1N914 & 1N4148 as already mentioned. 73 de KE3FL/Phil
Hi guys, I\'m trying to find a substitute for this diode : 1N34
I was unable to find it at digikey, jameco or radio shack
This is the data I found on it:
Name: 1N34
Type: signal
Material: germanium
PIV: 60 volts
Max current Forward(reverse) IO (ir) : 8.5 mA (15.0 uA)
Max drop Vf: 1.0 volts
I would appreciate help with finding a substitute. It\'s for NOPPP (no parts
pic programmer).

if love is a drug, then, ideally, it\'s a healing, healthful drug... it\'s
kind of like prozac is supposed to work (without the sexual side
effects and long-term damage to the brain and psyche)

With a bit of bodging, something like a BAT15-03 (<$1 in onesies, 21
cents in reels) ought to work at least as well as a 1N34A, assuming that
a 4V rating is enough, which it ought to be for an RF detector. (1N34As
work up to something ridiculous like 60V).

I suppose the 1N271 is obsolete, as well? Microdyne had switched to them from earlier pat numbers in the late 1990s.
There are Ebay listings for 1N34 diodes. I had a pound of them, from Poly-Paks, but an animal dug a hole under the wall into my shed, and used them to make a nest. Needless to say, the several thousand diodes had their leads rusted away. I still have some that were salvaged from some \'70s era computer PC boards. They were daughter boards with individual flip flops, and they had silver mica capacitors. I can\'t imagine the price of something like that, back then.
Another trick is to DC bias a diode to give it closer to a zero volt forward drop. This was done in some radios in the early days to improve sensitivity. I had to scratch my head the first time I saw that trick, with a 6H6 dual diode vaccum tube.
