This is a very common signal diode use for signals with up to 200mA of current. Signal diodes are used to process electrical signals in circuits, so they are only required to pass small currents of up to 100mA. These 1N4148 Diodes are made from silicon and have a forward voltage drop of 0.7V.

It turned out that I didn’t misunderstand the pricing after all: one unit buys a pack of ten diodes, but somehow I wasn’t the only person left a bit confused. Richard got in touch and managed to send the remaining 90 diodes with a later order. He even off

Hi ThereThis product is a pack of ten, so if you buy one, you are buying one pack of ten.If you only got one diode, then this is a mistake – I will email you separately to get to the bottom of this, but I think we may owe you 9 diodes!

Diodes themselves probably don’t need much commentary, at least not without a bit more exercise in projects with specific requirements (timing observations, perhaps), but the pricing of these could be a bit more obvious.The product page says “Pack Of 10
