any 1n400? will do Radioshack carries both 1n4001 and 1n4003 the 03 just has higher
breakdown voltage and since they cost the same ($.99) best to get the 03 which is the link
above.
The striped end is the cathode (-) end and should go toward the equipment. You want the (+)
end to go toward your power source to forward bias it.
If you don't want to solder it you can use crimp slices or terminal strips to do it.
