use a vomm set to infinite resistance if you have reistance one way and not the other way. diode is good (must be isolated from circuit) if no resistance both directions diode D.O.A.

What is a diode check setting used for on a dvom?

The Diode Check setting on a DVOM is a special ohms setting that presents enough voltage to the tested device to conduct, if it were a diode. Old style VOM's did not have this problem, because they usually used a battery greater than 0.7 volts to run the ohm's scale. Modern DVOM's, however, can use very small voltages to measure ohms, and that would not cause a diode to conduct. The Diode Check setting fixes this limitation.


What is the purpose is of a diode?

The purpose of a diode is to allow electric current to pass in one direction while blocking electric current in the opposite direction. It is for this reason that diode is usually referred as the check valve.

How is it possible to test a diode with a multimeter?

The diode must be isolated from any parallel current paths to test. check resistance both directions through diode. readings should show an open (or very high resistance) one direction and a short (or very low resistance) the other direction. Usually, a failed diode will show an open both directions. Set the multimeter to check resistance, attach each meter lead to opposite leads on diode, note reading, then swap meter leads and compare readings.


How to identify the anode and cathode of DR 25 diode?

The cathode of a diode is usually indicated with a band. In the absence of the band, consult the datasheet. Alternatively, use an ohmmeter that generates more than 0.7 volts at low current (a diode checker) and check conductance. The diode will conduct when the anode is more positive than the cathode.
