Zener Diode ID

[Ronak Shah]

This might be the weirdes questen here....
Well I picked up a miex lot of components and it has about 5-6 Zener
Diodes... (thats what i think they are) Well the problem is they are sooo
tiny and hence I cant read the values.. is there a way I can find out the
values? I mean ID the diode....
Now that I think of it... are they even Zener diodes? I know 1N914 comes in
glass case too...
Is there a way I can find out what this is and what values it holds....

Get a good ~10x magnifying loupe: Things will just get even tinier
and harder to read; Eyesight gets worse as one gets older,
not better.

well I can see the following digits....
on the first one
1N8
14B
C

on the second one:
TFK
1N4 < Not very clear
733 < 7 is clear the rest I guessed from the blur

Now I cant see the numbers clearly.. so I am guessing these numbers... does
anyone recognize these?????
If you do... are these zeners or regular signal diodes??
If not do these numbers resemble anything you might recognize ?

I am kinda new to this.....please advice

My guess would be:

1N814B
dunno

1N4733
..5 watt 5.1 volt zener

1N8148. Sounds _almost_ like an 1N4148 (Si universal diode); those in
my stock are labeled in the same fashion.

Cheers + HTH,

I suspect that is a 1N914B - common small-signal diode.

on the second one:
TFK
1N4 < Not very clear
733 < 7 is clear the rest I guessed from the blur

1N4733 is a 5.1 volt zener, 1 watt
