Okay all - ALL DIODES HAVE SHIPPED ! (Finally)

I wonder what the people at the post office thought when you handed them almost 100 packages lol

 

[Hemlock_Mike]

I didn't realize there were 100 buyers. This will make for interesting reading -- maybe a new forum topic !!!

Oops, I just remembered something, not everybody got only 2 diodes like me lol, probably more like 50 packages, but still I bet the postmaster wondered what you were shipping!

 

[Daedal]

Well, with the diodes and then the sentorches, I bet they know him by name and regret having him come to their registers... unless they are critiqued by how many shipments they process per day... LOL ;D

Thank you SenKat;

[SenKat]

Yeah, my only regret is the small "neighborhood" post office I went to was one of those contract centers, and the owner shut it down on Saturday, to remodel it, and reopen as a ships all place....damnit He used to reserve boxes for me and everything ! Now I will have to make them, or hunt them down...maybe I can get teh post office to drop ship some of those things to me - the little ones that are the size of VHS tapes work PERFECT for most everything !

 

[kwinchee]

Hay, is there a chance of still getting a diode? I relay would love one cheers

Yeah, and sometimes the packages even arrive too!

 

[SenKat]

Ya - I do NOT think I will EVER use DHL unless forced to !

 

[styropyro]

I feel dumb for asking this, but, how do I know which leg is postive?

 

[Gazoo]

It is obvious which leg is negative since it is a part of the diode housing. So it would look like as follows when viewing the diode from the back:


Photodiode O Positive O

Ground O

Not a dumb question at all. There are various pinout configurations. To be sure, you would need the datasheet or test it.

See this page for the test procedure. http://www.cat.ernet.in/others/lasinfo/d-test.html
