Electronics 5 Diodes

A deep dive into the common Rectifier Diode

Your channel is truly a hidden gem. Keep it going.

Leo, many thanks for these videos at such an introductory level! I'm an amateur radio hobbyists with hopes of learning to service cb/ham radio equipment.

[@dalton5446]

Dude, this series is making a lot of things FINALLY click for me. Thank you. Please keep making these videos.

[@argcargv]

This was an awesome 15 min introduction. You managed to pack a lot of information while still remaining at an introductory level. Most tutorials on diodes would not have touched reverse recovery or thermal coefficient for fear of it becoming too technical, but you managed to navigate that very difficult balance perfectly!

[@jbrown468]

100% 👍

[@mktwatcher]

I hope you get time to continue your video series on electronic components. You have a very effective way of communicating the subject of electronics. Thank you for making these videos

[@joeborovina4769]

Clear and concise Thank you

[@leosbagoftricks3732]

I just did, thanks for the suggestion!

[@DaveBucklin]

Such a great series!

[@Guishan_Lingyou]

Very good introductory video. I only play with electronics now and again, so it's good to touch up on the basics.

[@kageyama8331]

Thank you !

[@RR-cs1et]

Great videos. Finally, videos that dont make me fall asleep on this material.

Yet we do see LEDs (each with a resistor) quite frequently in parallel configurations so I don't think that's a problem, right? In fact this is true of any common cathode LED (e.g. RGB LED, 7 segment, etc.).

[@leosbagoftricks3732]

Yes - thats a series-parallel circuit - the resistor buffers the Vf problem

[@jackhreha4907]

Buy you a drink in the old diode dive bar. The place where stories are told that start out with the line. " Your not going to belive this ------ but! Best Regards Jack

[@imacasanova]

Heat will vary any component's characteristics however it would be more correct to say that the resistance is nonlinear with temperature. Ohms Law always applies that is why it is a law. Otherwise bravo, you are an excellent teacher.

[@romancharak3675]

fabulous !

[@gustavohernandez2713]

This is the kind of electronic discussion we need. Calm, technical and based of hard data.

"Hello professor, thank you. I've learned a lot from you. I used to be amazed by everything I saw on the internet. These things really interest me. For the first time, I feel like I have a clear path ahead. What I want is to be able to combine this with programming; that's where I want to go. Like you said, math used to scare me, but with discipline, I'm sure I can overcome it. I would really appreciate it if you could provide me with information from someone who really knows about this, like you, a PDF with a clear roadmap. Thank you so much..."

Hi Leo, awesome video! Love your approach. Do you have any tips on how to figure out what diode to replace the one that burned right off the board . Its for a mother board that goes in a musical keyboard that is no longer in production and it’s right next to the cpu Had to put in a new trace , doesn’t look very pretty But I have a good feeling it will work . I know I need a 0201 size diode but what rating do I use? pretty I’m new to electronics. But I know it will Er

[@MichaelMadcock]

Thanks for saving me a bunch of time playing with diodes in parallel! ...also, thanks for saving me some diodes!

[@b1zarre23]

Leo, when's the next part coming out!!

[@jbrown468]

This is a wonderful video! Thank you!

[@shagreobe]

So glad you came back! really missed the videos!

[@andrwba]

Criminally underrated, Leo! Keep it up

[@opticalvalve]

I think I learned something today

[@clems6989]

My professor in college said if you remember only one thing from my class make it This "nothing happens in zero time'

[@leosbagoftricks3732]

OMG I love that!

[@robstorms]

Thanks Leo !!!

[@rudygomez6996]

Cool

[@raphaelradespiel9970]

I came from your clock video and saw this in your channel! I'm now subscribed

[@leosbagoftricks3732]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@jstro-hobbytech]

Great video sir!

[@leosbagoftricks3732]

Thank you kindly!

@@leosbagoftricks3732 I plan to get an ee degree before I turn 50. I've been retired for 9 years and just turned 45. I have half the credits already from my previous degree so I'm situated nicely. It's a bucket list thing. I did software engineering and broke the line of mefhanical/electronics engineers in my family haha. It goes back like 4 generations that all worked at the same company doing the same thing haha. Keep up the work and post a PayPal account and I'll donate atleast 20usd a month until you grow the channel to where it should be. You have that quality and just need to keep leaning into it. Charge companies for reviews too because soon the emails will start. I know alot of creators personally. It's a great way to make money and make them agree to a boiler plate statement which keeps your integrity. Then sell the item if you don't need it haha. Sorry, I ramble.

[@leosbagoftricks3732]

All great advice! thanks a bunch!

[@thecasualengineer99]

8:41 Looks like a wheatstone bridge configured with diodes. Hey Leo, this is an excellent introduction to diodes.

[@darinwhite5475]

Another great vid, Leo. Thanks from frosty Canada!

[@jstro-hobbytech]

If you take another long break I'm gonna fly from cape breton Nova Scotia to Thailand and smack you with the stickies of the prior day's local catch hahaha. You combine art with technology and that's one of my passions. There are not enough people who have lived a magical life such as your's who are proficient in both things. If you put in the work or start a patreon I'll be your first member. I joke about Thailand but I'm planning a month long trip through South East Asia this or next year. I'm going to either mountainbike or rent a scooter and camp or find cheap places to lay my head as I am leaving the wife home and spending a month to see the temples and such that are not in tourist traps. I was going to start on the southern tip of Myanmar and make my way around every place that isn't China or China controlled. I'd like to pack up and move to south east Asia at some point and live a simpler life where I can play with circuits, write music and sell hotdogs or something haha. Maybe build a small house too. One with rooms that don't go unused like my current house. You're filling a hole with your content that is sorely needed. You are inspiring to people who are just started and even I don't know as much as I'd like and always learn something from you. I'd like to add that I wish that tek scope you use would go down in value a bit haha if I had my time over I'd have bought it second hand like my other tektronix tds2002c instead of the overpriced new one I never use and always go back to the simpler one that isn't as fancy but just works without any fuss. I usually donate my older gear when I get new stuff but I can't part with the old tektronix tds2002c haha. Keep up the good work.

What's a "uA"??
