Default Re: D226 Diode (Silicon or Germanium)

It is behaving like a silicon diode, and it looks like an early silicon rectifier physically, but the current rating (300mA) is low for a silicon rectifier.

I think the most probable explanation is that the radiomuseum information is incorrect, but that's just a guess.
