A device having two terminals and has a low resistance to electrical current in one direction and a high resistance in the other direction
A semiconductor device which permits current to flow in only one direction (analogous to a check valve, in fluid handling )
A two-terminal semiconductor (rectifying) device that exhibits a non-linear current-voltage characteristic The diode's function is to allow current in one direction and to block current in the opposite direction Also see rectifier
an electronic semiconductor device that predominantly allows current to flow in only one direction
a semiconductor device which allows electrical current to flow through it in only one direction
Simple semiconductor element, comparable to a valve The ideal diode is blocking electric current in one direction and conducting it in the other The real diode causes a voltage drop and energy loss in the forward direction, therefore power electronics sometimes use active diodes
a device that passes current only in one direction, sometimes called a rectifier
Two-element electron tube, which will allow more electron flow in one direction in a circuit than in the other direction; tube which serves as a rectifier
A two-terminal device that will conduct electric current more easily in one direction than in the other
Rectifier An electronic device with two wires or terminals A rectifier allows electrical current to flow through in only one direction and is used for converting alternating current into direct current Rectifiers were important for use in radios, which required direct current to power the amplifiers driving speakers or headphones
an electronic device that allows current to flow more easily in one direction than in the other direction
a semiconductor that consists of a p-n junction a thermionic tube having two electrodes; used as a rectifier
A two-electrode (two-terminal) device which allows a voltage/signal to pass through it in one direction only 2
