Re: CSCurrent Limiting diodes

Hi Dan, Those are interesting little diodes. I can put a direct short in the circuit and they still limit it to 1 MA. I calculated it takes about 5.5 to 6 inches of 14 gauge wire to give the correct surface area for 1 ma current. Take care, V Energize With Light http://www.theledman.net/

CSFW: CSCurrent Limiting diodes

Title: FW: CSCurrent Limiting diodes Correction: That should read (ie. 0.9 ma or 1.1 ma)... I think "current limiting diodes" is something of a misnomer, kind of like products marked "unscented" which have scent in it, or like "Liberal" and "C

Re: CSCurrent Limiting diodes

I have used several of these in various sizes. It is interesting to watch CS brew with a volt ohm meter and watch the voltage go down. Once you are done brewing you can move your silver closer and farther apart and see the voltage change. Bob

CSCurrent Limiting diodes

I think current limiting diodes is something of a misnomer, kind of like products marked unscented which have scent in it, or like Liberal and Conservative in the political realm... By the way, don't buy the exact 1.0 ma diode, buy one tenth ma less than or greater than (ie. 0.9 ma or 2.1 ma).
