beakie New Member Jul 28, 2010 #1 Hi, I am confused by the number of different types diodes. I have read about each and though I seem to understand, I can't find the one I want. I simply want to allow the current to go one way down a wire. Nothing funky. What is the name of this sort of diode? THANKS!
