A Zener diode is a special type of diode designed to reliably allow current to flow "backwards" (inverted polarity) when a certain set reverse voltage, known as the Zener voltage, is reached. Zener diodes are manufactured with a great variety of Zener voltages and some are even variable.
An AM radio made from a Snap Circuits kit. Snap Circuits is a line of electronic kits manufactured by Elenco Electronics and aimed at children eight years and older. [1] The kits come in a variety of sizes, and may include capacitors, diodes, electric motors, lamps, LEDs, radios, electromagnets, speakers, resistors, transformers, transistors and voltmeters.
A clipper circuit can remove certain portions of an arbitrary waveform near the positive or negative peaks or both. Clipping changes the shape of the waveform and alters its spectral components . A clipping circuit consists of linear elements like resistors and non-linear elements like diodes or transistors , but it does not contain energy ...
Clipper (electronics), a circuit that imposes a fixed limit and does not offset the signal; Envelope detector, a circuit that outputs the maximum (or minimum); a clamper with the diode and capacitor exchanged; Schottky diode; Snubber, a circuit that reduces dV/dt or limits peak voltage, in order to reduce arcing or breakdown
Various semiconductor diodes. Left: A four-diode bridge rectifier. Next to it is a 1N4148 signal diode. On the far right is a Zener diode. In most diodes, a white or black painted band identifies the cathode into which electrons will flow when the diode is conducting. Electron flow is the reverse of conventional current flow.

An electronic kit is a package of electrical components used to build an electronic device. Generally, kits are composed of electronic components, a circuit diagram (schematic), assembly instructions, and often a printed circuit board (PCB) or another type of prototyping board. There are two types of kits. Some build a single device or system.
Separable assembly or sub-assembly (e.g. printed circuit assembly) AT: Attenuator or isolator: BR: Bridge rectifier (four diodes in a package) often changed to "D" for diode BT, BAT: Battery or battery holder: often shortened to "B" C: Capacitor: CB: Circuit breaker: CN: Capacitor network: may be simplified to "C" for capacitor D, CR: Diode ...
