There are two diode ratings. One is the forward current rating, and the other is the reverse breakdown voltage rating. The forward current rating is the maximum current that the diode can conduct before failing, and the reverse breakdown voltage rating is the maximum reverse voltage that can be applied before failing.
Of course, the reverse voltage rating has a different meaning in a zener diode, but this answer applies to ordinary diodes.
The IN5408 diode is an ordinary silicon diode. It has a 3 amp forward current rating, and a 1000 volt peak reverse voltage rating.
the High voltage rated diodes are power diodes while of low rating or normal voltage rating are considered to as ordinary / normal diode
A zener diode with a rating of 500 mW will pass 50 mA at 10 V. (Power = voltage times current)Note: The question appears mis stated, in that it states a rating of 500 MW, not 500 mW. To my knowledge, there is no zener with a rating of 500 MW.
A : A diode is an dumb animal he does not care how it is used all it cares is that its limitations are not exceeded

43 Volts.
The PIV (Peak Inverse Voltage) rating of a diode is the maximum voltage that you should apply to it in the reverse biased condition. Exceeding this voltage can destroy the diode.

A diode will provide saturating current if it reaches its Piv. What it should be well at least 1.5 of the applied reverse voltage. For AC at least 2 times to insure that the peak REVERSE voltage is blocked
The 1N4007 is a diode with forward current rating of 1 ampere, and a reverse voltage rating of 1,000 volts.
The difference in the 1N4007 diode and the 1N4007S diode is the voltage. The 1N4007S has a higher voltage but the meaning of the S is not listed.
2x the peak supply voltage!
light emitting diode and its a diode that emitting the light when the current passes through it and it used in the TV screen
