Hi Everyone. I have a shorted diode marked 15A 435. It's most likely a Zener since it was connected with the anode to the ground. I tried to find its reverse voltage value on the internet without success. Can anybody help?

Post a picture or at least tell us the case style. -
Re: Possibly Zener diode identification
Reverse protection and freewheel diodes are also connected anode to ground. Perhaps also picture of original circuit could also help deduce type and value.Comment

Re: Possibly Zener diode identification
Sorry Guys, you are right. I should have posted some pictures. The circuit board is a part of the Caterpillar in-cabin control display (a bunch of alarm lights and displays). Board number CAT 106-1154. Pictures attached. The diode's very bad quality (dark) photos are due to the barely readable markings, so I had to play with lighting under the microscope to show anything.Attached FilesComment

Re: Possibly Zener diode identification
probably custom part numbers
show us a bigger area of the board - both sidesComment

Re: Possibly Zener diode identification
Is this a 24V system? Caterpillar uses house numbered parts.
I would expect it to be a TVS for some solenoid output, protecting the nearby mosfet/transistor. Or protecting power for the board, but it's too small really.

Re: Possibly Zener diode identification
I suspect the 15A is only part of the number and the 435 is the date code located under the 15A
I would take a guess the complete number is:
1.5KE
15A
435
Too bad all the pictures can't be posted here as wellComment

Hello everyone, I'm repairing an LG TV backlight and I noticed some strange behavior when I touching the backlight strip with a missing Zener diode.
So I replaced the leds on the strips and they seemingly working fine, but soon as I touch the strip which has a missing Zener diode the whole backlight turns off for a few seconds and then turns back on.
Is this caused by the missing diode? If so what kind of zener diode should I use to replace it?.
The led strips has 9 6V leds.

I have bought this Zener Diode for this project what size and wattage resistor value do I need to use to get near 50 watt output
I bought this from an eBay seller but unfortunately they only had one
I bought three from Vetco Electronics these are Sylvania ECG5185A 9.1@10w A to Stud what size and watt resistor do I need to use to get near 10 watt output
I bought three of from them to also make battery packs with this output power limit in mind
I want to use this battery pack and turn it into a 9.1 output battery pack output to eliminate using 9 volt battery... -
Hi, I'm looking for a bit of help trying to fix the audio unit from a Maestro Mayhem 4.1 gaming chair please.
The chair has a few speakers and vibration motors. All was well, for a while, but now the sound is gone.
It may be significant that I discovered my son was powering it with a 19V laptop charger when it should run on 12V - it did fully work, for bit.
I think an issue could be a zener diode (or capacitor) which has shorted out.
The board's bluetooth input still works, the vibration motors are working, so is the line out socket but not the... -
My Element 32 inches tv (ELEFW328B) lost it's backlight (confirmed with a flashlight test) and the connector on the PCB (it has one board that has a processor chip, switch mode power supply, and backlight circuit) that has the two wires that go to the backlight LED strips has a very low voltage (28-29 volts) when turned ON, in my opinion.
Started testing components and found an SMD diode or zener that is shorted (even zero fusing resistors read a few tens of milliohms, while this thing reads zero).
I put some pictures here to show that it is labeled "M7".... -
Hey there guys. I've got a Corsair power supply that's come across my bench dead. I usually don't mess with power supplies, but it's a slow week so I'm giving it a whirl.
Taking it apart I heard a screw rattling around inside, and when I got it apart I found a couple blown components near what I think is the 5VSB area.
There's a 22ohm resistor that's melted and open, but it still has the bands.
The other part is a zener diode and it's top went to jesus, so I can't read the marking.
It looks like the diode connects the source and drain of a TNY284...
