As mentioned earlier, diodes are one of the important components in electronic circuits, especially in Power Supplies (and there are many other applications of diodes). Let us focus on Testing Diodes in this tutorial.

In the worst case scenario, if we do not perform any tests before assembly and if the output is not as expected, then it is very difficult to identify the source of the problem and we have test all the components (which is very difficult after assembling). To avoid getting undesired results, it is advisable to test all the basic components like a resistors, diode, LED etc., for their normal working or operation before assembling the components in a circuit (PCB).
MULTISIM MULTIMETER HOW TO
Having knowledge on how to test a component and assessing whether it is good or not is a very good electronic circuits troubleshooting skill. Learn more about the basics of Semiconductor Diodes. You don’t have to understand its construction and internal working but at least some basic knowledge on how a component works, how to test a component and see whether the component is working properly or not. If you are starting to develop your own electronics project or if you want to troubleshoot any electronic circuit or project, then you must have a sound knowledge on basic electronic components and their working.
