Diode test and identify

NT

SR560 is a 5A schottky rectifier diode with 60V reverse bias capability

Normally you get the out-of-range symbol in reverse, many meters display that as a "1" at the left and no other digits.

If those readings are made with the diode removed from the circuit, it's definately bad. else probably bad.

Well I took it out of Circuit and now its reading

Forward .171 Reverse 1

Soo I guess its good.

Rats.

Schotkeys do have lower barrier potentials than normal diodes. A typical silicon diode has a barrier potential of between 0.6 and 0.7 volts; schotkeys less than half that so it seems slightly low but probably still good. You can always look up the datasheet for that particular diode and see what the Vf should be just to be on the safe side.

Thanks.

Fv seems to match.

Then it would appear that diode is fine.

Yep. Hard for anyone to help if you give us so little info.
