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

Hello, I'm about to make a wideband rf sniffer using an op amp and a simple detector front end feeding a capacitor and one of the inputs to the op amp. I could bias the diode near conduction if it will help. I have to hand a 1n5817 schottky diode which is claimed to have a low forward voltage drop. While it's not exactly a signal diode will it do the job? Our local electronics store (Map...

i have a suspect zener diode from a PS . Zener, because the PCB says it is (ZD901) it looks like a small signal diode and it has a 16 and 2 printed on opposite sides. to test/replace --- the 16 is for ? volts ? and the 2 is ? *OR* are the ###s short hand for some other 1N4### value ? and the best test is to measure V across it ? thanks for any helpful replies, robb

Hi, What is the difference between Light Detector Resistor and a pin diode? And which one is better to use for solar tracking purposes and why?

I need to make a laser pointer for a profoundly disabled friend. It needs only to point 3 inches so I'm looking for a Class 1 laser diode that will be safe for him despite his erratic movements. Any help in locating a Class 1 laser diode that would be appropriate would be REALLY appreciated. Thanks. Trish

Have simple detector circuit that specifies 1N21B diode. That diode is 20-plus years old and obsolete. Looking for current equivalent, possibly (but not necessarily) smt. Are these useable in place of a 1N21B for 2.4 GHz detection?: Suggestions welcome. Thanks, -- DaveC me@bogusdomain.net This is an invalid return add

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...

Tested each of diode pair fch20u10 with analog ohm-meter: directly-open but with bigger direct voltage conducts, inversely- resistance of 40 ohms! but I suspect it is ok or not because tested an ok mur1620 and it showed 100ohms I guess those fast power diodes should not show inverse resistance of Kohms?

Hey all; I'm planning on using a MAX4622 CMOS switch in a circuit I'm building. On p.7 of the data sheet (http://datasheets.maxim-ic.com/en/ds/MAX4621-MAX4623.pdf), it says: "If power-supply sequencing is not possible, add two small signal diodes in series with the supply pins and a Schottky diode between V+ and VL" I've read a bit about Schottky diodes, and I see that there are severa...

I've just started using the free version of LT Spice and haven't had a problem doing simulations as long as the components are in the library. Now I need to do a simulation using a component that's not in the LT Spice library, the 1N4001 diode. Somebody sent me the model for the 1N4001, which is great. So my question is, after you put a diode symbol in the schematic, how do you assign...

I would like to use the LM334 with 9V batteries to produce an approximate 3mA constant current through a diode. But I am a little confused by the device schematic. This device has three leads (V+, ADJ, and V-) --- I have put a 25 ohm resistor between ADJ and V- to select the current I want. But I'm not sure where to put my diode? where does the constant current flow?

What are the relative merits of diode-connecting a BJT by shorting base and collector (using B-E junction) versus shorting base and emitter (C-B junction)? Na=EFvely, I have assumed that one always uses the B-E junction but then I saw this post from s.e.d by Phil Hobbs: > BFT25A C-B junctions are at least as good as 2N4117As as diodes. > > Cheers > > Phil Hobbs What gives?

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?
