The RICM needs to repair a S603 triple pulse amplifier flip-chip. The
failed diode is listed as a DEC D-664. The DEC enthusiast cross-reference
lists show it as a 1N3606. These diodes are nearly impossible to find. Can
someone recommend a substitution for the 1N3606 diode?
The 1N3606 is a Silicon diode (that's lucky, Germanium diodes
are probably hard to find, now). 75 V reverse, 50 uA reverse
leakage, 100 mA forward current.
Unfortunately, my old book doesn't have much more
info than that. But, I doubt you could go wrong with a
1N914 or 1N4148 signal diode. Any silicon switching diode
will almost certainly work fine.
