CC analog board DL21 & DL22 values?
Posted by: mraroid on 2016-04-29 11:35:14
Can someone post the value (s) of the two zener diodes DL21 and DL22 on the Color Classic analog board?

I am placing a order with mouser and I would like to order some.

Did you find out what the values are?  Also what do these diodes do?  Both of mine are fried and I have no sound on mine...

I believe both values are the same and the part number is: BZX85C18

I like Mouser:

less the 50 cents each. Mouser has low cost, non rip off shipping.

Keep us updated.

all CCs out there those diodes get hot and cook the PCB. its a known thing, bad design, by the time the LC520 came around they did away with it in a newer design. They serve as a poor mans regulator for one of the scan B+ voltages.

Did you ever find anything? I'm looking to do the same but they aren't manufactured any longer, having trouble finding anything.

They're common components, that model isn't available but equivalents still are.

Has anyone tried using a larger package like a DO-201 or mounting it higher to help with heat dissipation?

I would like to try it, but I don't know really anything about diodes. I'm concerned about choosing a part with the wrong specs. I have another spot on my board that is slightly toasted where a smaller diode sits below some resistors. I would like to fix both of those.
