Recreating a Selenium AFC dual diode from 2 diodes?
I've discovered a faulty twin diode of the Selenium variety in my '56 GE portable and wish to replace with 2 Silicons. I'm aware of the voltage drop difference, but was wondering if there was any problem in simply soldering 2 diodes together at the cathodes (original was a common cathode), thus effectively making a 3 leg component?
I used 2 1n4007s because of the current requirements ( i don't have Germaniums that can take that amount of voltage) BTW, should I have used 2 Schottkeys instead? |
