(Pack of 5) 1N34 Germanium Diode

(Pack of 5) 1N34 Germanium Diode 

The 1N34 is a classic germanium signal diode known for its very low forward voltage drop and excellent performance in radio-frequency and low-signal detection applications. With a typical forward voltage of around 0.25–0.3V, it is ideal for crystal radios, AM/FM detector circuits, audio signal detection, and other precision low-level applications.
It comes in a glass DO-7 axial package for easy integration into hobby, educational, and repair projects.
