Is this diode made by Amperex? See ABSE for picture. It's a 1N616, and
it says Holland on it, but nothing else. The packet it came in was
handwritten Amperex. Can I assume that it was really made by Amperex?

I downloaded the datasheel from datasheetarchive.com, and while it was
d/ling it said over 2 MB. The d/l quit at 660kB, but when I tried
opening it with Acrobat reader it said it was corrupt. Maybe someone
else can do better?

The file loads fine for us locally. Maybe give it another go and let me
know if there are further issues with our site.

Copied it as a jpeg also http://www.datasheetarchive.com/1n616.jpg

Hopefully the correct one?

Or Philips, in reality: Amperex is one of their (formerly innumerable)
brand-names in various countries, from the days when they seldom marked
components 'Philips' except in the Netherlands

It was long thought that competitor end-user-product manufacturers
wouldn't be too happy to fill their equipment with components marked
with the name of a rival ...

What is schlect? I typed define schlect into Google and I get dozens of
hits with that word as a person's last name(!)

Thanks. The .JPG is okay. But I tried to d/l the .PDF and it got
further than the first time, 1450k. I again got the damaged error
message when acrobat reader opened it.

The correct spelling is "schlecht".

See http://www.dict.cc/?s=schlecht for an explanation. I believe the
word means the same in Yiddish.

Knowing this, I wonder how this company manages to win contracts:

and industrial projects in Oregon and Washington."

And according to my equivalents data book the 1N616 equates to the
Philips AA113,4...etc. I have a Philips (Miniwatt in Australia) short
form data book from 1964 and this only mentions the AA119 which
superseded the AA113,4...etc. The AA series used a white spot or band
to indicate the cathode and this style was referred to as case style
14. They also had a case style 24 which is exactly the same as the
1N616 in question which uses a red end on the glass body to indicate
cathode. It is likely that Philips just badged their AA113 as 1N616
and marked it to conform to case style 24 for the USA market.

The AA119 is listed as a Ge point contact diode suitable for detector
use (similar to 1N60 et al). Other data;

Vd (cont) 30V, Vd(max) 45V
Id (cont) 35mA, Id (max) 100mA
Tamb (max) 60C
At 25C Vd=0.88V for Id=1.0mA
Rev leakage Id @ Vd(30V)=150uA max

Thanks for the info. I got the .JPG from datasheetarchive, and that
spec said the case was the small glass case like the later and more
common Ge diodes came in, like the 1N270, etc. I guess the same thing
happened to this as happened to the 1N34, everyone had their own idea of
what it was supposed to be.

I once accidently broke open one of those thin glass cases, and it was
filled with silicone gel, got the goop all over everything. Yuck. The
glass was too flimsy.

You're probably correct. I speak the language much better than I spell it, and
I speak it poorly. :-)

"Schlecht" is one of those delicious words which sound pretty much like what
they mean.

If this is a delicious word, does that mean I can eat the diode?

Offhand, I'd say you're not doing too good with English, either.. ;-)

That's onomatopoeia.
