Hello,
Today I noticed that normal diodes are not attracted by magnets. Almost all other components I have tested have iron pins (or nickel or something); LEDs, resistors, transistors, capacitors, except for diodes.
I also noticed that the pins of several types of rectifiers (containing diodes) are also not made of iron. Zener diodes on the other hand do have iron pins.
What is the reason the pins of diodes do not contain any magnetic material? And what material is it made from?
