BAT85 info

hi all
How should BAT85 schottky read on a meter using diode range?

I think the test current for most DMM "Diode" functions is about 1 mA - So the BAT85 probably shows around 250 mV (say, 200 mV to 300 mV) in forward conduction at typical room temperatures. Reverse biased resistance readings under 1 megohm or so point to high reverse leakage current.

it reads 0.217 in one direction and no reading in the other direction so it's ok?

Assuming "no reading" means "Out of Range" or something similar, those numbers look like it's in great shape.

My fluke meter stayed on OL when i test it in the next direction .

ok thank for the info
