The 17Z3 is an efficiency diode for television line scan and the design dates to the early 1950s. This was a popular design and was made by many companies under various Type designations.The rectifier is specified as having a peak inverse voltage rating of 4,500 Volts, and a peak current rating of 450 mA.![](../pics/aaq0329a.jpg)
The inner faces of the anode are seen as the metal is folded outwards and by doing so, to increase surface area for heat dispersal.![](../pics/aaq0329b.jpg)
The anode has the two sides stitched together.The thin glass tube envelope is 20 mm in diameter and, excluding the B9A base pins, is 73 mm tall.References: Data-sheet, 3002 & 1040. |
