Need help identifying a diode

[Gary L. Woodruff]

howdy all, I am trying to identify a small glass diode. The only
markings are A2 5 around the body. I think it may be a Zener but am not
sure how to cross it.

Thanks, Gary

Could it be a HZ5A2 4.5V zener?

SMD ?

You'll be lucky ! See if you can divine its function from the circuit.

Very useful information on zeners. Thanks for posting the link. I
have saved the file for future reference.
