I recently recovered some odd looking diodes from the psu sections of a couple of scrap monitor pcb's, pretty sure they're not zeners, I think they might be Schottky diodes or high speed rectifiers - but any suggestions, anybody?
Both diodes have a forward voltage of just over 0.5V, are small short bodied, same length as diameter, plastic package - probably half the length and slightly fatter than a 1n4001, hence "strange looking". One has a purple cathode band and is marked 4E, the other has a broken (like teeth on a gear) white cathode band, and is marked 06 24 with the 06 oriented around the body and the 24 oriented along the body.
If anyone could suggest what these might be, I'd be happy.
Thanks in advance.
