1N5767S are good because of their minority carrier lifetime, although any
diode that has at least a 1.5uSec lifetime would be ok.


I've been wanting to do a PIN diode u/g for my DX-394's preselector
bandswitching for a couple of years since reading the Kiwa article. But I
wanted surface mount to directly replace the existing diodes. I think I have
found them for the three SW bands - Infineon BAR64-03W PIN Diodes in a
SOD-323 package with a typical charge carrier lifetime of 1.55us.

Pete, do these look like a good alternative to the axial leaded 1N5767?

Still looking for something for the MW and LW bands in a dual diode SOT-343
package to replace the DA277's:
