Electrical ratings, manufacturer, semiconductor material, and cross-reference information could not be verified from available documentation. Buyers should match the storage-box number, visible body marking, physical configuration, and photographs to their application before purchasing.
This listing includes one diode. The component may show oxidation, discoloration, or other cosmetic evidence of long-term storage. Please review all photos carefully for the exact condition and markings.

DISCLAIMER
This item is new old stock and has not been installed or placed into service by us. Electrical specifications have not been independently verified. Vintage electronic components should be inspected and tested by a qualified technician before installation. Ships fast with tracking. 30-day returns accepted; buyer pays return shipping.

LEGAL DISCLAIMER
We are not an authorized distributor, reseller, or representative of the original manufacturer. All product names, trademarks, brands, and logos are the property of their respective owners. This product is not covered by a manufacturer warranty.

COMPATIBILITY & CROSS-REFERENCE
Neither the storage-box number RKDS 17724 nor the body marking RK DS177 corresponds to a JEDEC-registered 1N-series number or to a manufacturer part number that could be matched against published datasheets, and no manufacturer is identified on the component. Vintage axial diodes were frequently supplied under equipment-maker or distributor house numbers rather than industry-standard numbers, which is consistent with what is shown here. Identify the device electrically — forward voltage drop and reverse breakdown — or match it against the original equipment's parts list before use; do not infer a voltage or current rating from the marking alone. The banded end marks the cathode, per standard axial-diode convention.

Q&A
Q: What are the electrical ratings? A: Not known. No manufacturer datasheet could be identified for the RKDS 17724 or RK DS177 marking.
Q: Which end is the cathode? A: The banded end, following standard axial-diode marking convention.
Q: How many diodes are included? A: One.
