Dear Experts,
I have recently soldered some diodes to maintain a constant voltage. This i learned from this nice forum.
But when using it, the diode can become quite warm.
My doubt is, when diodes become warm to touch, like about 60 degrees celsius , is it something wrong with the diode?
I am not sure what kind of diode i am using but it has some aphabets and numbers on it which reads
"CT" and
"2 A 0 5"
I suspect it means 2 Amps diode.
The load does not drawing much current at about 162mA.
Someone told me that if your diode is hot, something is wrong.
I wonder is this true?
sincerely
