Electronic engineering
Delay relay
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A relay that opens or closes at the end of a predetermined time interval.
Coaxial diode
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A semiconductor diode housed in a cylindrical metal shell acting as one contact, and provided with a recessed, concentrically mounted end pin, which serves as the other contact.
Degenerate semiconductor
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A semiconductor that behaves like a metal over a wide range of temperatures.
Dynistor
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A semiconductor diode that continues to conduct after the forward voltage is reduced below the normal threshold point. To stop the conduction, a reverse voltage must be applied, or voltage must be ...
Charge transfer device
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A semiconductor in which an electric charge is moved from location to location. Applications include delay lines, video signal processing, and signal storage.
Backward diode
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A semiconductor diode manufactured in such a way that its high-current flow occurs when the junction is reverse biased. Such a diode is also a negative-resistance device.
Disc rectifier
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A semiconductor rectifier (such as copper-oxide, selenium, magnesium-coppersulfide, or germanium type) in which the active material is deposited on a metal disk.
