DIODE: 1amp, 1000volt

• This Diode demonstrates one way conductivity.

(Wikipedia excerpt: ..."A diode is a two-terminal electronic component that conducts current primarily in one direction (asymmetric conductance). It has low (ideally zero) resistance in one direction and high (ideally infinite) resistance in the other.

A semiconductor type, the most commonly used type today, is a crystalline piece of semiconductor material with a p–n junction connected to two electrical terminals.[5] It has an exponential current–voltage characteristic. Semiconductor types were the first semiconductor electronic devices. The discovery of asymmetric electrical conduction across the contact between a crystalline mineral and a metal was made by German physicist Ferdinand Braun in 1874. Today, most are made of silicon, but other semiconducting materials such as gallium arsenide and germanium are also used.[6]

The obsolete thermionic typee is a vacuum tube with two electrodes, a heated cathode and a plate, in which electrons can flow in only one direction, from the cathode to the plate...")
