It is made of a material called germanium a material used for transistors and diodes as one of the first semiconductors materials used commercially.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHam Radio and Amateur Radio circuits incorporate these as detector diodes. These are also used in up converters and down converters ( Mixers ) and ring detectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1N60 is also used in sound effect circuits, used as clippers in Guitar pedals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome places are selling silicon diodes as a substitute or equivalent replacement with the 1N60 number as germanium. Some of there data sheets even say germanium in the header but state silicon in the data area. Mine are germanium point contact diodes and not Schottky Silicon Diode.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Atomic 29","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61983944245618,"sku":"1N60","price":1.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0983\/1894\/2578\/files\/1n60-2.jpg?v=1782564615","url":"https:\/\/atomic-29.com\/products\/1n60","provider":"Atomic 29","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
