I'm trying to order a few items to experiment with on a breadboard. I don't know much about component nomenclature. But I found the below diode in price range that was easy.
Basically I just want to plug a diode into a circuit with an AC low 12 voltage supply and see how it acts or when it saturates etc. But I'm a bit confused as to what all the specs mean. I notice the volt rating is quite high, is this the maximum it can handle ? Just any enlightenment on the below specs meanings would help.
Semikron Standard Recovery Diodes, SKE4F1 Series
Package Type: Axial Lead, Vrrm (volts): 800 Volts,
IF (rms) Amps: 7 Amps, IF (avg) Amps: 1.2 Amps,
Ifsm Amps: 70 Amps, I2T@50Hz (A2Sec): 18,
Vfm (volts): 1.4 Volts, Junction Temp.: 266 Degrees F
