Diodes

Diodes are electronic components that allow current to flow in only one direction. They have two terminals, an anode (positive) and a cathode (negative). Diodes are commonly used for rectification, signal modulation, and protection against reverse current flow. Hitachi Energy offers a wide range of fast recovery diodes, standard recovery diodes and welding diodes.
