diode (dÄ«'Åd') An electrical device with two active terminals, an anode and a cathode, through which current passes more easily in one direction (from anode to cathode) than in the reverse direction. Diodes have many uses, including conversion of AC power to DC power, and the decoding of audio-frequency signals from radio signals.
The definition of a diode is an electronic device with two transmitting terminals that allows electric current to flow in one direction while blocking current in the opposite direction.An example of a diode is a light-emitting diode, an LED.iode. noun. 1  An electronic device that restricts current flow chiefly to one direction. 2  An electron tube with a cathode and anode. 3  A two-terminal semiconductor device used chiefly as a rectifier.
