Electronic engineering

diffused device

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A semiconductor device in which the junction is produced by diffusion (See diffusion, 1). Examples: diffused-base transistor, diffused diode, diffused-junction rectifier, and diffused-mesa ...

coupling diode

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A semiconductor diode connected between the stages of a direct-coupled amplifier. When the diode is connected in the correct polarity, it acts as a high resistance between stages when there is no ...

control rectifier

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A semiconductor diode device, used for the purpose of switching large currents. A small control signal can provide switching of high-power devices.

diffused diode

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A semiconductor diode having a diffused junction.

computer diode

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A semiconductor diode having low capacitance and fast recovery time, thus suiting it to rapid switching in computer circuits and to very-high-frequency applications.

double-anode diode

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A semiconductor diode having two anodes and a common cathode.

coaxial diode

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A semiconductor diode housed in a cylindrical metal shell acting as one contact, and provided with a recessed, concentrically mounted end pin, which serves as the other contact.
