Chanzon 15SQ045 Schottky Diodes 15A 45V R-6 Axial 15 Amp 45 Volt for Solar Cell Panel (Pack of 20 Pieces)

I bought a Kia Soul+ when it came off of lease a few years ago. Best car I've ever owned. There's just been one small, niggling, on-going problem: The overhead courtesy-light that comes on when a door is opened and then after a few minutes fades-to-off. At least that's what's supposed to happen. There's actually two lamps that make up the courtesy lighting above the front seats (there's another above the rear seat). So what's been the problem is that beginning a couple of years after purchasing the car, the driver's side courtesy lamp became inconsistent, working sometimes, many times not. You didn't know when or what the lamp was going to do. Is this a big deal? Well, ask the other Soul owners that talk about this online in Kia forums. Like them, the inconsistency and perplexity of the lamp being usable, in such a well-designed and executed car just simply "rubs you wrong"! I stumbled on what I thought was a fix sometime ago, in one of the Kia forums, when one of the members stated he fixed his Soul's lamp by pulling the overhead console down, putting it on his workbench and "re-flowing" the solder on the two diodes that are on the top of the console "circuit" board. I put circuit in quotes because I've never seen a "circuit" board that looked anything like this one. Those diodes are the only discreet (individual and accessible) electrical parts on the consoles' board. There's nothing else visible, as the board itself is simply black injection-molded plastic with square holes in it. In two of these you find the courtesy lamps themselves, but other than those and the two diodes there's nothing there. I have no idea how Kia makes this setup work. So, I heated up the solder on the diodes and added fresh to it because the member who said this fixed his lamp not working properly added that by doing this you were eliminating Kia's "dry-solder" jobs, i.e. the diodes weren't able to connect cleanly and completely with the circuit board. Well, it worked! Well, for about a year-more-or-less, then the problem returned. I was ready to replace the console, but two things made me pause: First, the price of a new console was well over $100. Used ones were much less expensive, but I already have a used one; that and all those people on the forums have the same thing. So a used one was not a guaranteed fix. Second, so a new (read expensive one) was no guarantee that the problem would be fixed. I mean, Kia never put out a bulletin on this problem that I could find, meaning they probably "know" about the bad consoles, but they aren't going to pay to fix it. That also means that it's very likely that all those new expensive, replacement overhead consoles have the same bad lamp problem. In looking through more forums for an answer I did find something interesting: Some Souls had the problem on the drivers' side only; others had it on the passengers' side only; and some had it on both. But, like my Soul, many of these cars had the same problem with it being inconsistent. A while back I got interested in doing electronics repair, radios, power amps, etc. This problem with it being inconsistent just seemed so wrong because in most electronics they either work or they don't, so since I had access to the diodes I used my VOM meter, set to diode, and tested them. Sure enough, the drivers' side diode was bad (at least at the time I was testing it). So I ordered these Chanzon Rectifier Diodes and replaced both diodes. Outcome? The problem seems to have been corrected! They have been working, consistently, without fail for a couple of months now, and I'm fairly sure they will keep doing so. These are fine quality diodes and you cannot beat the price or convenience of buying them on Amazon. What a relief!

Used these on a broken solar panel years ago. Worked great then, and still working today years later. A panel that was otherwise just going to be thrown away was put back to use, and still going strong.

Nice and hold up really well. Running 10 amps on 3 diodes for snow plow setup and no issues

I bought these diodes because they're an incredibly common part that serves a specific need. There may be other components that can substitute, but when a device is designed, the designer had a specific part in mind for a reason. I had a small device, a ham radio tool called a "dummy load", that you connect to a radio you are testing when you don't want it to actually send out radio waves. It's a valuable and necessary diagnostic tool, and I built this one from a kit to serve a specific need. But the diode in my dummy load burned out during the testing of a new radio, and I the choice of throwing out the broken dummy load and buying a new one, or ordering the burned-out part and replacing it. It was a LOT cheaper to do the latter than to do the former, so I did that. These diodes are very inexpensive when purchased in quantity, and it makes the shipping more cost-effective when you buy more than one at a time. Since then, I've seen at least two more devices that use the same diode, so I'm glad I have a large number of them in my parts box in case I need them. I installed one of the diodes I purchased from this seller in the broken dummy load, and it is working perfectly once more. These diodes do what it says on the tin. They do what Schottky diodes do, and these particular diodes served my need just fine. If you need this component, this selection is cost-effective and fulfills that need.

I fix 2 radios with these diodes, very good product.

1N34A Schottky Diode have 0.3V forward drop. This is good for my purpose. I will purchase more.

I only needed one but it worked perfectly. Used it on my door bell

Work perfect

Excellent product

These parts have an ST logo. They don't have the same characteristics as the genuine ST part - these have a much lower Vf and much higher capacitance so they must be a cheaper diode relabelled. Also of note is the '1' in 1N is quite stylised on genuine ST parts but is just a line with these - I can't tell you whether ST use this marking style but the genuine parts I have look different and measured characteristics are also different.

複数個の順方向電圧と逆漏れ電流を計ったが異常性は無く正常でした。

ok

Arrivato nei tempi previsti, funzionamento OK. grazie
