Most of you already know what a diode is, but how much do you really know about the device? The diode is a component which allows current to pass in only one direction. Originally they were made by ...

Diodes are one of the most important parts of any electronics project, and if you don't understand how they work you'll destroy any electronics project you work on. Thankfully, Adafruit has a video ...

A diode is a device that allows current to flow in one direction but not in the other. This ability makes diodes useful in many applications, including converting AC to DC, regulating voltages, and ...

A diode is a device that allows electric current to flow in only one direction, from its anode towards its cathode but not the other way around. There is plenty of online material explaining diode ...

The basis of a solid-state diode laser is, of course, the diode. Laser diodes can have different emission wavelength—most of them have between 405 nm to 808 nm. The diodes usually have TO3, TO5, TO9, ...
