Hello List,

I am looking for a source for a Zener Diode. I am building an HF
Amplifier using a GS-35b and the schematic I'm using to build the amp
calls for a 36v 50w zoner diode for bias. Here in New Zealand there
does not seem to be anyone with anythings close to what I need.

Also, would it be possible to string a few lower volt watt zeners
together to come up with a close value to what is needed?

Thanks for the help

Skip..


5 each 7.5 volt 10 watt zeners in series might work. Or you might
build a power transistor circuit that current amplifies a small 35
volt zener. It all depends on the details of the circuit. That is
one hell of a bias zener.
