trying to fix AC/DC power plug. I have a Diode that says: GW327 SR560 I THINK this is a Schottkty Diode. Setting meter to Diode test, Im getting, 1.71 Forward and Reverse .171. Normally on diode I know you should get 1 on reverse Are these readings allowable or is the Diode Bad. Thanks.

What is the advantage of a four diode bridge full-wave rectifier over a two diode full-wave rectifier. There must be some, else why accept the extra cost? -- "He who will not reason is a bigot; he who cannot is a fool; he who dares not is a slave." - Sir William Drummond

Hi Kevin, Suppose I wanted to model JUST the capacitance portion of a diode? No DC current, etc. The equation "fold-over" at VD~FC*VJ looks to be PITA to implement. Maybe you know of a way to trick a full diode model into not doing its DC thing ?:-} ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson | mens | | A...

I want to power a laser diode (the kind used for engraving) in a portable device for short periods with a 9V battery. The laser diode comes in a tube with a focusing lens and trailing wires, and the spec says 5V 1A. This diagram seems to be the standard circuit for driving these. The LM317 spec says Vout is 1.25V above Va and it needs 3V of headroom. ---------- +9V----o-----...

Hi, I would like to use the 1N5283 diode in a certain application. Like some other applications in power electronics, this diode datasheet too mentions a certain Lead Length to be maintained. (See http://www.datasheetcatalog.org/datasheet/motorola/1N5298.pdf) Could someone please explain this? Why does this distance have to be maintained? (Its got to do with the thermal character...

Greetings All, In the book "Electric Motors and Control Techniques" a circuit is illustrated that is for the dynamic braking of a squirrel cage motor. This circuit discharges a capacitor through the field windings to slow the motor. The capacitor is connected across the AC power to the motor in series with a 50k resistor and a diode. I under stand why the diode is there. The resistor must be...

I have a DVM made by Extech that has the diode check function. When checking a regular diode the function works. But when I try an LED it shows open both ways. And when I try to measure resistance the meter shows open both ways. Is it possible that the LEDs just need more current before than the meter provides they will conduct?

Hi all, OK a silly basic question. I'm doing some digital stuff. I wanted a one shot to reset some things, but didn't want to put in an entire chip (74HC123.. or whatever the number is.) So I just used a cap, resistor, diode and inverter. https://www.dropbox.com/s/flnonc9rgwmerhw/DSCF0082.JPG Is this OK? Thanks, George H.

The motor runs on standard USA 120 V 60 Hz, 14 A, at 5500 RPM. What's the easiest way to slow down the RPM? What about simply adding a diode in series on the power cord? Any advice, references, and links would be appreciated. Thanks.

I made a bulk purchase of red laser diodes off Ebay. There are three bags together unmarked. 25 of them are 3.3V., another 25 are 4.5V and the other 25 are 5V. But like I say they're not labelled so I don't know what spec correpsonds with which batch. They're all in brass hosts with adjustable lenses. Is there a simple way to tell which is which - establish safe working current and volt...

I got a request for a f to 2f converter for our lockin. http://www.teachspin.com/instruments/signal_processor/ (Freq = 3 - 3k Hz. ) (Well a crappy pic, but I wanted to show that it has a filter module.

I want to use this 100V zener, and I'm trying to figure out how much current it draws when it's turned on, on the datasheet I see Vz "working voltage" is between 95V-105V with the condition Iz = 1 mA does that mean that as long as I make sure the zener is capable of getting at least 1mA that this will conduct when I go over 100V? here's the zener I'm looking at http://www.nxp.com/doc...

I need a source of white noise (audio). It doesn't have to be perfect. I seem to recall that you could use a zener diode as a white noise source. Is this true? Are there any other possibilities? I anticipate using a 9-V battery for my power, and a few transistors to amplify the signal to drive earphones. You may ask, "why the heck would he want to do that?" Good question: http:...
