Diodes are the gatekeepers of the electronics world. These two-terminal components act as one-way streets for electrical current, allowing it to flow in one direction while blocking it in the other. This simple but powerful function makes them essential for countless applications, from converting AC to DC power (rectification) to protecting circuits and, of course, emitting light!
Our Bag-o-Diodes provides a practical assortment of the most common through-hole diodes for your workbench. This kit features two of the most popular standard diodes: the 1N4001, a mainstay perfect for power supply and reverse-polarity protection tasks, and the fast-switching 1N4148, ideal for handling signals in logic circuits. To top it off, we've included three of the most common colors of Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs): Red, Yellow, and Green. It's the perfect starter pack for anyone learning about electronics or for experienced users needing to restock their fundamental components.
