I didn't use Google, though I did do a web search for an FDH6027 Diode.

Does "anyone" have any info on said part? If I am not wrong, it "seems"
to
be a "switching" transistor.


Thanks

ECG Has been replaced by NTE , which is on the internet.
Diodes have two leads (wires)
Transistors have three leads (wires)
1N914 (NTE 519) is a fast switching diode...Hope this helps !


Thanks for the help! I am well aware Transistors have 3 wires and Diodes
have 2. I see why you said that.
I "meant" to say it "seems" to be "SWITCHING DIODE" as in controlling a part
of a circuit. DUH! This particular diode is used to switch on or off as
needed, a "transistor"! Bad choice of words on my behalf. I typed and sent
without rereading it.

I am familar with the 1N914. I couldn't find a cross for the FDH6027 number
to see what it crossed with.

Thanks again............ I "really" should start editing my posts "before"
sending!
