Click a lead or use the arrow keys. Top view · cathode 1 at band · anode 2 opposite
The body band identifies the cathode end.
Connect to the load positive in the series polarity-protection example.
Pad 1 = cathode is this page’s PCB convention; the manufacturer identifies the leads by polarity.
Forward conventional current enters the anode and exits the cathode.
Connect to the isolated source positive in the example.
Use external current limiting. Forward drop and reverse leakage both depend on temperature.
