    Help identify this diode?

    I am very new to electronics repair. The project I am working on now is repairing a power board from a Panasonic LCD TV. While running tests on some of the components I notice one diode that read infinite resistance in both directions. This is a bad diode right? Or could it be my meter is not capable of measuring this particular diode?

    If it is bad, could you help identify it? It has 2 legs, and is polarized. It is black with red lettering that reads "T3D 54." What can I use to replace it?

    Re: Help identify this diode?

    Model number of the TV, Pictures of both side of the board and the location of this DIODE will help. You use the Diode function test, right?

      Make sure you are in the correct mode on the meter. If so its junk. As for what it is rated at for replacement?...not sure off hand.

        Re: Help identify this diode?

        Its a Panasonic th42pd50u, and the location is D411. I just tracked down the service manual and on the schematics is says "ST03D-170" next to the component. It's Panasonic part number is B0BB17000010. Is this a normal diode or something special? I did have my meter on diode setting and both ways it reads 0L. If it is broken, what do I need to do to find an equivalent?

          It is a Snubber diode, usually used across the transformer or relay to suppress the back EMF. You can only look to see if it is shorted, but you cannot check and see if it has correct forward bias reading with you meter. It will show open circuit using you meter.

          You will need more than 170V to cause the Zener to go into conduction mode.

            Re: Help identify this diode?

            Its not shorted, so I guess I can assume its still good for now? Out of curiosity, what other types of diodes would my meter not be able to test properly?

              More likely to be good, MOST of the time the Diode will fail shorted.
              "types of diodes would my meter not be able to test "
              Zener diode voltage, the meter will show the correct reading of the diode junction but it cannot show the Zener voltage point of the diode, only the forward voltage.
              or really high voltage diode that are rated in the 2000V or higher, they will connected the diodes in series and encase it into one body.

                  Corsair RM1000e - Help identify 5VSB Zener diode
                  by hobostove
                  Hey there guys. I've got a Corsair power supply that's come across my bench dead. I usually don't mess with power supplies, but it's a slow week so I'm giving it a whirl.

                  Taking it apart I heard a screw rattling around inside, and when I got it apart I found a couple blown components near what I think is the 5VSB area.

                  There's a 22ohm resistor that's melted and open, but it still has the bands.

                  The other part is a zener diode and it's top went to jesus, so I can't read the marking.

                  It looks like the diode connects the source and drain of a TNY284...

                  AUO M270QAN01 - identify diode?
                  by jjne
                  Hi,

                  I have a small number of monitors based on the above panel and am working through them. I have at least two with a single, burned-out diode. From what I can see it's something like DI428 or DII428 or DH428. Here's a picture of a working one.

                  Can anyone identify this please? Based on the number 428 it may be a shottky or a Zener according to Google. The device in question is D105.

                  ETA I can confirm that the number is definitely 428 (I took a video which revealed a better image), the DII appears to be a maker's mark. There's also a code 1G. Looking around...

                  Identify replacement diode
                  by jezzaaaa
                  I'm trying to find a replacement diode for one that has gone short.

                  I have a generic USB charger that went short circuit to ground on 5V. I found that one of a pair of identical diodes in parallel (and in series with transformer secondary winding) has gone short in both directions, so I suspect it's bad. The marking is CSRS1045, which I believe is a low barrier Schottky with max current 10A and max reverse 45V. I found a spec sheet for CSRS1045-A that has same specs and also says 350mV drop when forward biased.

                  I can't find the exact part number for sale. Similar...

                  Ubiquitiu 24 port POE. Help Identify Diode 3pin)
                  by gurj1979
                  Hi again guys.
                  Ive got a Ubiquiti 24 port POE Switch which has failed to work. Fans turn on, but no lights.
                  I've ripped the board out, flipped it upside down and noticed a blown 3pin SMD Diode (at location D53). Marking is ESSP (as with all the other Diodes in the same row).

                  Anyone help me identify the model of this Diode ?...

                  help for identify an smd diode
                  by digitalblade
                  I need to identify the diode on attached image. is an SMD diode on damaged board.
                  As more wide question... there is a way to identify any smd component in a more or less simple way?
                  Every time that i need to identify some components with no schematics is a nightmare for me!

                  Thank you for any kind of support!...
