A diode is a semiconductor device with two connections. These connections are referred to as the<br />
anode and the cathode. Such diodes frequently only allow the electrical current to flow in one direction.<br />
A diode circuit symbol is sometimes printed on the housing to indicate the corresponding direction.<br />
In addition to the type designation, diodes usually also bear a ring to indicate the cathode side.
