How to test or check a Bad Diode - Diode testing

Written By knowledge_seeker on Sunday, September 14, 2014 | 6:14 PM

      Diode commonly in radial package or in two pins configuration, the + Anode & - Cathode. In measuring the voltage drop of a good silicon diode always have .7V approximate " forward bias " reading using diode test selected in digital multimeter and .3V for a germanium composed diode.

Mostly bad diodes read 0V or shorted, sometimes it will be open or exceed the voltage drop across pins or the anode and the cathode.
