Need help with Diode ID

Postby tom_ » Fri Aug 01, 2014 12:43 pm

I have two diodes in front of me but being absolutely new to electronics I have no idea which is what.

One is a 1N4742 Zener Diode, the other is a 1N4148 diode.

I have no idea which one is the Zener as they look similar. The only difference is the size. One is about half the size of the other.

The datasheet for the 1N4148 gives its dimensions as: Length = 3.9mm, Diameter = 1.9mm.
Hope that helps.
