I think you you are asking about varactor diode. varactor means variable capacitor. varactor diode is a p-n junction diode which provide a capacitance across it subjected to applied forward and reverse bias.

means it provide variable capacitance which depends on the applied reverse voltage(mostly varactor diode works on reverse voltage).They are also known as varicap

What is baritt diode?

It is a barrier-injection transit-time, a high frequency - semi - structural element of micro-electronics, as the diode is one of the electronic components.


What do you mean the word diode which is used in electronics?

Diode is a Two terminal device which allows flow of curent in forward direction that means it converts DC to AC


Where can you buy germanium diode 1N34?

I suggest your local electronics parts jobber, or one of the mail order or internet electronics parts stores (e.g. Mouser, DigiKey, Jameco Electronics).


What is the use of crystal detector in electronics?

A crystal detector is a diode, often used in non-powered radio receivers. It conducts at a much lower voltage than a typical silicon diode, making it easier to generate the signal amplitude required from the tuning circuit.


Which is better as a switch diode or transistor?

Basically a diode is a combinstion of pN junction but the transistor is made with three terminals EMITTER,, BASE ,, JUNCTION.. and diode is just a combination of positive and negative terminal . diode and transistors are both used as a switch .. but a transistor is more widly udes than a diode. and diode has also very important in electronics DIGITAL SYSTEM to make the screen's ..and transistors are used in amplifiers the group of transistors make an amplifier . and we use a diode in seven segment display ....diode is small and carry less current due to its small size but transistor get large current. A2 A diode has two connections. It allows current to flow in one direction and not in the other. They are used for rectification in power supplies, detection of AM radio, blocking of current etc. A Transistor has three connections. Current is controlled between the emitter and collector, by a small current on the base. They are used as switches, amplifiers and regulators.
