Semiconductor Diodes

There are a number of pages that cover Semiconductor Diodes on the web site. The main page provides a listing of Manufacturers of Semiconductor Diodes. With a link to a listing of Manufacturers of Varactor Diode Devices, Manufacturers of Zener Diodes, Manufacturers of LED components, followed by a list of Circuit Protection Devices.

Some times I need a bit more than just a listing of manufacturers. This page provides a list and definition of different types of diodes. Which gives a small description of each type of semiconductor diode.

There's another page that provides detailed definitions for Zener Diode Terms. Followed by a page giving definitions for LED devices, who can remember which is the longer lead on a through-hole device.

I'll bet there are other pages that cover diodes, like the related page which details ESD Terms. A quick search finds LED Materials vs Wavelength [color], and a Visible Spectrum Graph. Also a table that indicates how to Derate a Diode based on Junction Temperature.

Still more, one for Multi-Colored LED Manufacturers. That page would cover two and three colored LED's. How about one that covers RF Switch Manufacturers, which happen to be diodes inside an RF case.

Of Course LED stands for; Light Emitting Diode....... Hmm, lets not forget Super Bright LED Manufacturers, and Light Pipe Manufacturers. Or, Manufacturers of LED Drivers.

In any case there are many pages that deal with diode manufacturers or diode terms. All pages may not point to all of the other pages, but they can all be found by using the search engine located on the top of all the pages. Like this page that shows a graph for a Bridge Rectifier Circuit.
