help identify anode of this diode rectifier

[milen007]

I am newbie on this, please help me identify the anode and cathode pin for cree diode rectifier CSD01060.

i attached the picture and mark the anode and cathode of the pin. please correct me if i am wrong. thanks in advance

Why not just measure it to be sure?

Put a 5VDC or the plus of a 9 V battery on one pin, from the other pin go through 220 ohms to the + of a LED, other lead of the LED back to the - of the supply or battery.

Swap the diode pins until the LED lights, then you have the + on the anode.

Too tired to google for a datasheet, eh?

Pinout is also given.

Have fun, Hannes

Hi Hannes

thats the problem, i did find the datasheet, but im totally newbie. which pin is anode and which pin is cathode? thanks alot

What u have written on the picture is wrong. It is the other way round.

Be aware that the case is also connected to the cathode, so do not let it touch/mount it to a grounded metal, unintentionally.

Hi gmphadte

thanks for the input. it matched the result from hannes.

thanks guys. i love this forum

You could also identify the leads useing the diode test on your multimeter...

You could also identify the leads useing the diode test on your multimeter...

Which is probably the safest option, as diodes are generally available in normal or reversed versions.

if the diode test does the bip sound. is it anode or cathode that connected to the positive/red lead of the DMM? thanks

 

[gmphadte]

If u are using a digital multimeter, the red lead supplies positive (from the DMM battery). The diode will beep when the anode is supplied with +polarity.
Don't confuse yourself of the supply on the meter leads. It is needed to test Rs and other passive components including diodes. However, on a DMM, u have to set the range to diode test. The resistance mode will show open in both the directions.

The polarity of the traditional analog multimeter is reversed.
