Hey, I am stuck on a question, "what is the difference between a signal diode and a rectifier diode". I havent really found any discrete differences. Can you help me?

 

Look for blocking voltage and forward current characteristics.

 

Hello,

Here is some information on diodes from the EDUCYPEDIA.
