Best Answer

The silver band shows which end is the negative (Cathode) end. If you are using it as a blocking diode, the other end (+ve Anode) should be connected to the +ve supply. Power will pass through and be available at the end with the stripe. If you put it the other way around, it will block the current.

What is diode volve?

I think you mean 'diode valve'! A 'valve' is the British term for what Americans call 'tubes' or, more accurately, 'vacuum tubes'. So, a 'diode valve' is a thermionic valve generally used as a rectifier, much in the same way that a semiconducting diode is used, these days.


What does NV mean when stamped inside the band of a silver ring with a tanzanite stone and possible diamonds or Cz's around the band?
