Do you know where the "Schottky" in the SS14 Schottky barrier diode comes from?

It actually originates from a physicist named Walter H. Schottky, who invented it. Unlike conventional diodes using a P-N junction, the SS14 Schottky barrier diode is uniquely crafted based on the direct contact between a metal and a semiconductor.

The SS14 diode is crucial for rectification and circuit protection. It allows current to flow in only one direction, effectively preventing short circuits and protecting the system. Thanks to its compact structure and small footprint, the SS14 fits perfectly into various modern devices, making it a go-to choice for global buyers.

Now, here comes the most critical question: Do you know how to judge if an SS14 diode is good or bad?

First, identify the polarity - the end marked with a white line is the cathode (negative). Set your multimeter to the diode test position and connect the probes:

• The Good Sign: In the forward direction (red probe to positive, black to negative), a good diode will show a regular voltage reading. When reversed, it must block current and display "1" or "OL".

• The Bad Sign: If it displays "1" or "OL" in both directions, or shows a reading/beeping when reversed, the diode is damaged.

What is a Schottky Barrier Diode? Defination of a Schottey Barrier Rectifiers

The Schottky diode, named after its inventor, also known as Schottky barrier diode or hot-carrier diode, is a semiconductor diode formed by the junction of a semiconductor with a metal. Schottky barrier diode not only  have many applications in today's high tech electronics scene,but also it is one of the oldest semiconductor devices in existence.

It has a low forward voltage drop, a switching speeds that approach zero time and is an electronics component that is widely used in RF applications as a mixer or detector. Also used in power applications as a rectifier, again because of its low forward voltage drop, it lowers the levels of power loss, compared to ordinary PN junction diodes.

The reverse recovery time of Schottky diodes provides extremely fast recovery characteristics. What little reverse recovery time they exhibit is dictated by their capacitance instead of minority carrier recombination such as in conventional PN junction rectifiers. This offers very little reverse current overshoot when switching the Schottky from a forward conducting mode to a reverse blocking state.

Most stronge Fast Recovery Diode in WEET are SMA Schottky Barrier Rectifier SS12-SS110, SMB Schottky Barrier Rectifier SS32-SS310, SMC Schottky Barrier Rectifier SS52-SS510
