When looking across the discrete components in your electronic armory, it is easy to overlook the humble diode. After all, one can be forgiven for the conclusion that the everyday version of this ...

Fairchild circuit protection is proud to offer a new type of reverse bias protection devices. The FR devices are low resistance, series switches that, in the event of a reverse bias condition, shut ...

A semiconductor diode is an electronic component that allows current to flow in only one direction, acting like a one-way valve for electricity. It is commonly used for voltage regulation, converting ...

Nexperia has put an ideal diode, including its p-channel mosfet, and reverse polarity protection, in a 2.1 x 1.25 x 0.95mm TSSOP6 package. Called NID5100, it is aimed at industrial and consumer ...

Among passive electronic components, the fuse and diode are well known, well understood, widely used, and essential to many circuits and systems. Still, each has inherent shortcomings that make them ...

Some diode manufacturers caution against using the diode tester function in ohmmeters because it could exceed the reverse-voltage and forward-current ratings of sensitive diodes. This is especially ...

Diodes whose reverse-breakdown characteristics are controlled precisely during manufacture are called as Zener diodes and are intended specifically for operation in the reverse breakdown mode ...
