One problem with 3D-printed metal parts is that stresses due to the expansion of heated material and contraction of cold material can build up in parts while they are being printed, generating forces ...

A diode is a tiny component with a powerful job—controlling the direction of electrical current. This video explains how diodes allow electricity to flow one way, block it the other, and protect ...

Transient-voltage-suppression (TVS) diodes are used to clamp transient voltages to prevent other components from being damaged. Transient-voltage-suppression (TVS) diodes are used to clamp transient ...

A diode is a device that allows current to flow in one direction but not in the other. This ability makes diodes useful in many applications, including converting AC to DC, regulating voltages, and ...

In 3D printing, residual stress can build up in parts during the printing process due to the expansion of heated material and contraction of cold material, generating forces that can distort the part ...

Developed by Power Integrations, the 600-V 12-A diodes feature reverse-recovery charge claimed to be the lowest in the industry. Generally speaking, silicon-carbide (SiC) technology provides superior ...

Justin Mamaradlo continues his exploration of the P2 with a look at the diode bridge, including a modified version, and the offset adjust blocks. 1. This simplified block representation shows the ...

A University of Minnesota Twin Cities-led team has developed a new superconducting diode, a key component in electronic devices, that could help scale up quantum computers for industry use and improve ...
