diode (dÄ«'Åd') An electrical device with two active terminals, an anode and a cathode, through which current passes more easily in one direction (from anode to cathode) than in the reverse direction. Diodes have many uses, including conversion of AC power to DC power, and the decoding of audio-frequency signals from radio signals.
Diode - Semiconductor diodes. 1  The symbol used for a semiconductor diode in a circuit diagram specifies the type of diode. 2  Light-emitting diode (LED) 3  Photodiode. 4  Schottky diode. 5  Transient-voltage-suppression diode (TVS) 6  Tunnel diode. 7  Zener diode. 8  Typical diode packages in same alignment as diode symbol.
