Diode Assemblies

Disconnect heat sink and check each diode with tester on continuity in forward or reverse direction. If the diode shows large resistance in one direction and small resistance in other direction, diode is normal. If it shows small resistance in both directions it is shorted. If large resistance is shown in both directions, diode is open.

CAUTION: If excessive temperature is allowed, diode will become inoperative.
