Hey folks, I’ve got a diode I’m having an issue cross referencing as well looking up. Instead of a large wide tab on each side it has two tabs per side making 4 pins, though each ties together. Just can’t get any info on this one. Any help would be appreciated.

It’s a CS6 and I’m not sure of it’s data sheet so I’d love to find out and replace it. Many thanks!

Thank you, I appreciate the response. I was on that site, but didn’t find the packaging this has. The DO-214AA is mostly correct from that page, but has a single pin per side. The rest aren’t correct.

 

Here are some follow up pictures. The pins are bridged.

This is on one of my pricey Starrett digital calipers that is not turning on and this is the only part i cannot get a reading on. It’s just showing open so I’m hoping to replace it if i can find it or cross reference it.

 

but has a single pin per side

Different manufacturers may vary the shape of the pin, as long as it is within the same overall width of that package. It's the actual value of the chip that matters.

It’s just showing open

Is it open both directions? It will/should show open in one direction but not the other if it is good.

 

Yes it’s open. The diode is directly at the input + voltage and bridges to the ground side of the board. Directly beside the 9 on the sticker the dome to the left in the second pic above is the +3v input. It should be blocking reverse voltage, but instead is doing nothing so in this case it is at least better than being shorted. The caliper quit turning on.

 

Question, being as this is a simple use in it’s location..... what’s the odds i can try a random silicone rectifier diode of the same package and it work out? I need to fix this.

 

I'd, if mine, use one rated twice the battery voltage and current or even a little more. It's already broke so you can't break it more. That is my strategy with broken things. Have you talked with Starrett about a repair and cost?

 

Starrett will be happy to put the diode in for as much as the caliper cost.
