Overview

Spintronic diodes allow the current to flow in only one direction. Each diode only turns clockwise, but it can be used to allow counterclockwise current by placing it on the outside of a chain loop.

Detailed description

The ratchet mechanism on top allows only clockwise movement and requires a forward voltage of approximately 0.7 V. The reverse breakdown voltage is well above the rated maximum voltage of the chain.

Note that only one spintronic diode is required to build a half-wave rectifier and only two are necessary to build a full-wave rectifier.

Riley V. ★★★★★

Needed a fix for my clockwise-only setup and these did the job. The external placement trick works just as described, and the value pack gave me plenty of spares for future projects.

Henry I. ★★★★★

Was confused why my chain kept stalling until I flipped the diode to the outside, and now the counterclockwise run works perfectly. Each one only turns clockwise on its own, so keep that in mind when you're placing them. Grabbed the value pack and every diode in it worked fine.

Scarlett ★★★★★

Took me a second to realize these only turn clockwise, but flipping one to the outside of the chain gave me counterclockwise flow no problem. Bought the pack for a couple of builds and now I've got spares for the next one.
