Switching Diode

Switching Diode

Switching Diodes are a type of semiconductor diode. They are specially designed and manufactured for "on" and "off" on a circuit. As the name suggests, it refers to a diode with a switching function. This diode has the performance of passing current (ON) when voltage is applied in the forward direction and stopping (OFF) current when the voltage is applied in the reverse direction. Compared with other diodes, the reverse recovery time (trr) is short, that is, the time that the switching diode takes from the on-state to the fully off-state is short. Common Switching Diodes have 2AK, 2DK, and other series, mainly used in electronic computers, pulses, and switching circuits.
