WTB Motorola MZ2360 diodes

[javaught]

I am looking for 10 of these vintage diodes for a clone amp project I am pursuing. I have seen them on eBay in the past but no luck now. Let me know if you have any you’d be willing to part with and your price. Thank you!

I suspect there was nothing special about MZ2360 diodes and you could just use a 1n4148. That would explain why they are no longer marketed. If you provided a pointer to the schematic, then we could be certain. Info I found saz a forward voltage of 0.63 to 0.71 V @10mA, which is a typical silicon diode.

Thank you for the reply/research. I had found the specs but appreciate the second opinion that another common diode should likely be fine. I will try the 1N4148s.

The original datasheet from Motorola is attached. The MZ2360 is tightly characterized for forward voltage drop and temperature coefficient. Whether the 1N4148 is similar enough is up to you.
