How it works

3 stages · Explore one step at a time

Step 1 / 3

Read the band

The cathode band faces the protected positive output.

Step 2 / 3

Pass the intended polarity

With positive voltage at the anode, the diode conducts through the load.

Step 3 / 3

Respect the limits

Reversed source polarity produces reverse bias. Stay below the reverse rating and account for leakage and heating.
