This is a collection of characteristic data for Russian tunnel diodes. Most of these are available from various surplus sellers, often on ebay.

Schema of type designations:

  • Gxxxx = Germanium, Commercial grade
  • 1xxxx = Germanium, Military grade
  • Axxxx = Gallium Arsenide, Commercial grade
  • 3xxxx = Gallium Arsenide, Military grade
  • xI1xx (like AI101) are for amplifiers
  • xI2xx (like AI201) are for generators
  • xI3xx (like AI301, GI306) are for switching circuits or general use
  • xI4xx are Backward Diodes for switching circuit and general use
