1N60 Germanium Diode – DO7 Package
Germanium Diodes have a lower forward drop voltage (of 0.3V) compared to more common Silicon Diodes (forward voltage of 0.7V). Germanium diodes are not very common these days and are hard to find but are still used in hobby AM radio receivers as detectors and also in battery circuits connected to Solar panels. Older germanium diodes had a larger leakage of current at a reverse voltage, but now manufacturers supply a range of improved low current leakage germanium diodes.
