Mitsubishi G71 pin out please

[tonyaztec]

Hi, I want to wire up my Mitsi G71 later, I just want to check that I've got the polarity right before I do.

I don't like magic smoke, is it pin 1, + anode, pin 2 case, and pin 3 - cathode??

I have a copy of the data sheet, just not that clear on there.

Thanks Johan, I have a copy of that but it does not give (to me anyway) a very clear indication of + and - to which pins.

I think im right with, pin 1, + anode, pin 2 case, and pin 3 - cathode.

No Pin 3 (the middle pin) is the case and Pin 1 is anode and Pin 2 is kathode. Pin 1 is the left when you look directly on the cut out of the disk (pin 3 at the top )

Ahh, I see my mistake, that's why its always best to check first.

Thanks Johan.

Pleased to say that all 4 diodes survived, now to continue the new red.
