    Default Which diode are used on microwave detector?

    Hi
    I have a "microwave detctor", it is a box with two leds, green and red, and it is
    supposed to detect microwave leakage from a domstic microwave oven. if its ok the green led lights and there is a leakage - the red led lights. I've opend it and all there is to it- are two DO35 cased diodes- each one connected to a led' so the diode is connected between the anode and the cathode of the led. thats it. does anybody knows which diodes they are. the numbers are not readable.
    Thanks.

    I wouldn't bother anyway - those cheap 'detectors' are just a toy, they are so inaccurate as to be completely useless.

    Nevertheless, I would like to know what type of diode it is.

    This series is a good choice, although they've been around for a while and there may be something newer out there.
