There are a couple types of diode clamping-- A P-N diode was often used for clamping coils of relays that produce high voltages when the relays is de-energized. Bidirectional zeners are now the best solution. Diode clamping is also a term used to limit voltage excursions generally. Zener diodes are generally used for this purpose.

What does LED stand for in LED lights?
Light Emitting Diode - LED
Is the pn junction diode is a bipolar or unipolar?
diode is unipolar
Reverse characteristics graph of pn junction diode?
what is the difference between reverse characteristics of zener diode and a practical diode ?
What unit is a Diode measured in?
Diodes are measured in terms of resistance. The formula is as follows Rd = Vd / Id. That is Resistance of the diode = voltage across the diode to current flowing throught the diode.
Does a pn junction diode emit light?
I don't think that the pn junction diode can emit light. Maybe it does, but a 'plastic' that covering the diode makes the light cannot be seen. Besides, you won't see it glow as it connect to the power source, right?
What is the purpose of clamping diode in a positive diode AND gate?
ttt
What is the difference between limiting and clamping circuit?
A diode-clipping circuit is used to skip some portion of the signal (e.g. the half way/full way rectifiers rectify the '-ve' or '+ve' part of the signal). A diode-clamping circuit is used to add some signals to the original signal.
How does a simple diode clamping circuit work?
A diode clamp, also often called simply a clamper, works by limiting electric current to a single direction and stops the signal from going beyond the reference. They can be either positive or negative, and biased or unbiased.
What is the applicatios and propertyes of diode clamping?
A: T he application are many. Basically it is used to limit and unwanted overshoot of voltage A diode will clamp the voltage or limit the voltage to .7 volts higher and no more.. It can clamp an input clamp negative or positive ringing from a collapsing coil or it can be used to clamp to a voltage.
If diode works properly in 0.7volts than why we you use ideal diode and practical diode?
In theory A diode clamps 0.7 volts across it but in practice the number is not exactly 0.7 volts because it can not be controlled. This is only the case with Silicon Diodes (clamping 0.7 volts), as Germanium ones, ideally clamp 0 Volts, but in practice it is not exactly Zero. Basically, in practice it is not exactly 0.7 volts but when doing theory one assumes it to be 0.7volts for ease of operation.
What are some practical uses of diodes?
Diodes are largely used for changing AC into DC. A half wave diode bridge will use two diodes for this purpose. A full wave bridge uses four diodes to accomplish this task.See related links below.
What is the principle of clamping in jigs and fixtures?
clamp is a holding device. The principle of clamping is " the clamping forceshouldbe strong enough to withstand forces that are caused during machining and clamping force should not be such high that it will damage the work piece".
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
Can a diode be used as rectifier diode?
yes, diode can be used as rectifier diode to convert ac to dc
Why Schottky diodes are used in wave shaping circuits?
Schottky diodes are often used for RF radio frequency applications as a mixer or detector diode. Another common application for the Schottky diode is in power applications as a rectifier.
Why is car clamping good?
It isn't!
What is impatt diode?
The read type diode are called impatt diode
