Where are you getting them?

Low voltage DC (12 ~ 16), 5 amps.

Why do you ask Mickey????? Yer Juice runnin' the wrong way?

I'm putting something together and I want as low a voltage drop as possible, I thought Radio Shack would have them, but no luck.

Good luck, I did a goggle search and unless you want 99 or more you are stuck. What are you trying to do maybe there is an alternative.

I'm using them as blocking diodes, I could use regular rectifier diodes but I want as little voltage drop as possible. I found some on eBay (I have to remember to always check eBay), 15 for $12 bucks, I can't believe they are so hard to find.

Unfortunately Radio Shack has turned into a retail store and no longer really supports us guys that need random parts anymore.

Try Jameco or DigiKey and you may find what you need...

Digi-Key is a good company I have ordered from them but they have min order I think.

How many do you want? They're almost always used on the output stage of most SMPS. If you just want one or two, rip it out of a computer power supply carcass. They're usually mounted on a heat sink and they're usually 32v or so and 10s of amps.
