1N270 and many other Germanium and Selenium Diodes from AMS (0ver 115 different components).

AMERICAN MICROSEMICONDUCTOR INC is one of the few suppliers of germanium diodes in the world; we have been supplying these parts to the largest manufactures in the world for over 40 years and we continue to be the largest supplier of germanium diodes worldwide.we plan to continue supporting the Germanium Diode market indefinitey into the future.

Early semiconductor developments used germanium as the commercial semiconductor material. However due to its ease of processing and more stable temperature characteristics, silicon eventually became the semiconductor of choice. And as a consequence of that, most early germanium semiconductors were replaced with silicon.

The advantage of Germanium is an intrinsically low forward voltage drop, typically 0.3 volts; making it superior to silicon diode 0.7 volts typically.
