In the construction of tunnnel diode,why is the pellet soldered to anode contact and a tindot to cathode contact via a mesh screen?
In the construction of tunnnel diode,why is the pellet soldered to anode contact and a tindot to cathode contact via a mesh screen? Correct Answer for heat dissipation and reduce induction respectively
Anode goes through better heat dissipation. So the pellet is used for the purpose. The tindot via mesh screen resists inductive effects caused at the cathode. Conduction is an independent factor which can’t be controlled.
