The 1N964B is a silicon, planar, high speed, small signal switching diode made by Diodes Incorporated. It is a popular choice for consumer electronics due to its low cost, low power loss, and ease of implementation. The 1N964B has a typical breakdown voltage of 35V with a maximum continuous forward current of 200mA. It can also switch up to 50V at frequencies up to 500MHz. This diode features a low forward voltage, high surge capability, and soft recovery characteristics. Its ideal for use in applications like signal switching, signal clipping, line termination, and power supply protection.
