You need an ohmmeter or multimeter (set in resistance measurement mode). Choose the 1kOhm range. Connect the meter's wires (red & black) each to the diode's terminals, then switch the terminals. In one case you should see a meter reading that is substantially lower than the other. If that is not the case (both read high or both read low), the diode is probably faulty.

IN5408 diode what does it do?
The IN5408 diode is an ordinary silicon diode. It has a 3 amp forward current rating, and a 1000 volt peak reverse voltage rating.
Can you swap IN5408 in a power stage of a tube amp with UF5408 diode?
Yes you can. The UF is a significantly faster diode. The peak forward surge current is 50 amps less, but apart from that they have much the same characteristics.
What happens with voltage and current by damaged diode...the diode is IN5408?
It depends on how the diode is damaged. There are generally two cases. One, the diode is shorted, and conducts with a low impedance in both directions. The other, the diode is open, and does not conduct, having a high impedance, in both directions. The effect depends on the particular circuit. In a power supply, a shorted diode will often blow the fuse, while an open diode will result in no output, or in high ripple voltage output. Is it possible that diode has normal voltage output but wrong current,meaning low mA?
How do you find the value of a zener diode?
It is depend on your requirement .suppose you need a voltage regulator of 5V than you need 5V Zener diode.
Difference between gunn diode and pin diode?
gunn diode is transfered electron device & PIN diode is semiconductor device

How is zener diode different from a conventional diode or ideal diode?
zener diode :zener diode operates under reverse bias voltageideal diode :ideal diode operates under forward bias voltage
How Tod find the zener diode voltage and its circuit diagram?
The circuit symbol is like a diode, but with short lines coming out of each side of the cathode line, in opposite directions. To find breakdown voltage, find the part code and look it up.
