While these diodes are not germanium, they are still good for crystal radios. Their Vf (forward voltage drop across the diode) is very similar to germanium diodes (1N34A) used for crystal radios and this Vf is the important parameter when considering which diode to use in your crystal radio.

I only tested one, but that one had a 0.3V forward voltage drop, exactly as expected for a germanium diode.

Some people believe that many of the diodes sold as Germanium are actually Schottky diodes. I don't know how to tell the difference (the voltage drop is about the same for each). They work in my Crystal Radio, that is what is important to me.

This is exactly the diode you need. Works great!!

As a few others have stated, these are NOT 1N34A germanium diodes as the description claims, these are schottky diodes. To be fair, they will work in your crystal radio if you have powerful am stations near you. But if you are hunting weaker stations not in your own city then you will be disappointed as these are not anywhere near as sensitive as a real germanium diode.

These diodes will have a greater performance than germanium diodes in crystal radio sets. They also have a four times greater capacitance, though, and that could be a problem in some other specialized applications. I took off only one star because these are Schottky type, silicon, diodes -- not germanium diodes and I don't like misleading product descriptions. Should have said 1N34 equivalent, Schottky diodes, or similar, and not mentioned germanium. I measured 0.20 volts forward voltage at 1mA on the one I did measure and 6pf of capacitance. Very good.

Used them on an Antenna tuner and they were just what was needed.

For use in guitar pedal builds these have been a staple for clipping diodes. They are getting hard to find so also getting expensive. Glad to have a source.
