HI,
Is this a 'real' 1N34A and not a Schottky or something else. Reason I ask is there are a lot of fakes out there in the marketplace.
Thanks Phil (KO6BB)

Hi, this is a genuine 1N34A and not a Schottky diode. We do not and will not sell fake parts in any form.
Product Reviews
Wow! Just like my crystal radio of my youth. This diode worked
great in the radio circuit and it sure took me back! Great product and I'm happy I coud find this item on your online store. Thanks!
