PN Junction Diode Component Data

Data for the more commonly used PN junction diodes including outline, operational parameters and component descriptions and applications and other datasheet data.

Here I've detailed the essential data for a variety of PN junction diodes: everything from their vital parameters including operating voltages, current capabilities, leakage, capacitance and many more details described in their datasheets.

PN junction diodes are used in many circuits. I've separated these diodes out from other forms of diode like Schottky, Zener or voltage reference diodes, silicon carbide diodes and the like which will all have separate sections.

The PN junction diodes are used in vast quantities and they are essential components in a huge number of electronic circuit designs.

In the data, I provide not only the electrical parameter data, but also component distributor stock and price data - an essential deciding factor for any design - if you can't buy it and at the right price, it should not be included.
