I've written and link the Avalanche breakdown article which covers a lot of what appears in the second paragraph, should this be deleted or rewritten? Astaroth5 14:18, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
Probably could use some rewriting to cover the details of the diode's analysis rather than it's overt function.
What's the symbol for an avalanche diode? I've seen one that just has half of the Zener things but I don't want to upload the version I drew as "Image:Avalanche diode.svg" until I know it's correct. — Omegatron 05:22, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
For example 1N5059 to 1N5062. What would that be? Wouldn't the avalanche effect make rectification impossible, since such a diode conducts in both directions with enough voltage? Please add. -- 92.224.247.242 (talk) 22:38, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just modified one external link on Avalanche diode. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at ((Sourcecheck))

The article states that avalanche diodes have a positive temperature coefficient, yet this datasheet of Vishay BYV26 avalanche diodes shows a negative temperature coefficient in both forward and reverse conduction: [1]. All diodes described in the datasheet have breakdown voltages in the hundreds of volts -- well above the 5V threshold under which (according to online sources) a Zener/avalanche diode has a negative coefficient. How come? 46.13.25.245 (talk) 13:52, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
