A 200-piece diode kit covering 8 of the workhorse types you actually reach for, from the everyday 1N4007 rectifier and 1N4148 signal diode through to 1N5819 and 1N5822 Schottky diodes and FR107/FR207 fast-recovery parts. All through-hole with standard leads, sorted and labelled in a reusable case so you can grab the right diode without hunting through a drawer. Handy to have on the bench for power supplies, protection circuits, board repairs and everyday electronics projects. Held in NZ stock and shipped fast from our Te Awamutu workshop, so you are not waiting weeks on an overseas parcel.

Great for
Using these diodes
- Check the band
Diodes are polarised. The painted band marks the cathode (–) end. Current flows from the plain end (anode) to the banded end.
- Pick the right type
Use a rectifier (1N4007/1N5408) for mains and power, a Schottky (1N5819/1N5822) where you want low forward drop, and 1N4148 for fast signal switching.
- Mind the ratings
Stay within the diode's voltage and current rating. When in doubt, size up to the next part in the kit.
- Fit and solder
The axial through-hole leads suit breadboards, protoboard and PCBs. Bend to the pad pitch and solder in place.
Common questions
What does the kit include?
200 diodes across 8 types: 1N4007 (×70), 1N4148 (×70), 1N5819 (×10), 1N5399 (×10), 1N5408 (×10), 1N5822 (×10), FR107 (×10) and FR207 (×10), sorted in a labelled storage case. See the "What's in the kit" table above for the exact count of each.
Which way round does a diode go?
Diodes are polarised. The painted band marks the cathode (negative) end. Conventional current flows from the plain anode end towards the banded cathode end. Fitting one backwards will block the current you want.
What is the difference between the rectifier and Schottky diodes?
The 1N4007, 1N5399 and 1N5408 are standard silicon rectifiers with a roughly 0.7V drop, good for high-voltage power circuits. The 1N5819 and 1N5822 are Schottky diodes with a much lower drop (around 0.3-0.4V) and fast switching, ideal for low-voltage supplies, buck/boost converters and reverse-polarity protection.
What is the 1N4148 for?
The 1N4148 is a small-signal fast switching diode (100V, 200mA). It suits logic, signal clamping, small protection tasks and general switching rather than carrying power current.
Are they through-hole or SMD?
Through-hole (axial), with two leads. They suit breadboards, protoboard and hand-soldered PCBs, not surface-mount work.
Are these good for repair work?
Yes. The kit covers the most common rectifier, Schottky and fast-recovery diodes found in power supplies, TVs, radios, appliances and hobby boards, so you have the usual replacements on hand.
Good to know: Diodes are polarised, so always match the banded (cathode) end to the correct side of your circuit. Each type is labelled in the case. Stock proudly dispatched from Te Awamutu, New Zealand.
