2.5 Diodes
With the diodes the bending aid will be used for its first “real” purpose. The diodes will be
bent to different lengths / grid dimension:
1. SB340 / 1N5822:
RM 15.24 mm
2. P6KE36CA:
RM 12.7 mm
3. 1N4004:
RM 10.16 mm
4. BAT41:
RM 7.62 mm
5. LM4040CIZ:
TO92-housing
The here named dimensions should serve as orientation. If you don't own a bending aid, it
is not necessary to exactly bend it to the tenths millimetre.
The bending can be done without bending aid too, by hand (sense of proportion).
The preparation and soldering of the LM4040-diode is explained more detailed in the
following.
